I don't have the numbers, but it seems like every year, there are a few thrown out because they ended up being ambiguous...

Hugo,
I hope I can help that situation this year. We were each given part of the question data base with instructions to mark them with a #1 (good question), #2 (needs re-writing), or #3 (throw it out). In my section, I'm proposing about 1/3 of the questions be re-written -- and I've provided "cleaner and clearer" language.
I'll post again after the meeting Tuesday with my observations.

The main problem with the real NFHS test is questions with no correct answer or more than one correct answer.

That's part of the reason FHSAA writes their own exam.
