Your Actual FHSAA Test Questions with Answers (For those who have previously tested on-line with FHSAA)
This year, each official can print the 50 questions the computer randomly generated for them. As in the past, if there is a test question that is found to be flawed, the FHSAA will throw it out. One of the advantages to the online testing is, only those officials who were given the particular question will have their scores adjusted. Log into the online testing center and click on the test history button on the left side of your home page.
