You want to talk about a "bait and switch" on an umpire test...

After a decade of umpiring FED baseball and ASA softball, I finally decided to get certified for FED softball. The week before taking our certification test, we were given a dry-run "practice" test- same questions as on the "real" test, only in different order (they must really want us to pass this thing!).

On the practice test, I missed two particular questions (true/false). So, on the final test I marked the opposite answer- and still had them graded as wrong!

Here I was convinced that a "true/false" question could only have two possible answers. Apparently, there is a third answer that I'm just not grasping!

Oh well, I can live with a 97% instead of a 99% on Part I of the test (I aced Part II) since it was a "pass/fail" test and the final scores don't affect assignments, ratings, etc.
