Fhsaa test

Argodad,
Any way of knowing which questions were tossed from the FHSAA test this year?
How does that compare to other years?

A brief survey from my association says that at least 4 questions were thrown out. (The guy's original score was 86 - then changed to 94).

Impressions from my association is that the number of bad questions was about the same as in previous years. Umpires picked up 0 to 6 points (3 questions) after the corrections. Yours is the first I've heard of an 8-point / 4 question swing.

I know for certain that errors were made in transcribing the questions we reviewed into the testing database. I had one multiple choice question with two identical correct answers. Of course, the computer only considered one of them the right answer. That question was tossed in the review process.
