Unfortunately not very up to date (or variable, at least). I did 3 quizzes and found at least two questions that were definitely wrong in law (eg. goal kicks must leave the area) and at least two more I thought were dubious! On that point - if the ball is thrown in properly, hits the referee and bounces out of play, what is the correct restart?
Throw in to other team, I think. For a dropped ball the ball has to remain in play.

Obviously not "official" (i.e. from a governing body), but dutchreferee.com always has good material. Jan always does a weekly LOTG quiz during the preseason, and I know you can find those in the archives.

The IFAB app has a comprehensive list of questions in their Q&A section. Also they highlight the law changes and of course, the current laws.
and 20?
dand 20?
Answers have been verified (and hopefully none of the questions are ambiguous or incorrectly worded), so I'm sure the quiz is useful
Really good - and quite testing - quiz! Made me think!d
