2) When can you not play Warp Point (DP, 116--Trainer)?

Reference Text:
Warp Point: Your opponent switches 1 of his or her Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any. You switch 1 of your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon, if any.

Answer: When your only Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and your opponent has no Pokémon on his or her Bench.

That's not right, is it? Because another answer was:
You cannot play warp point during the first turn of the game, if you won the coin flip.

^That would be the correct answer, right?
 
There are a few conditions in which Warp Point may not be played.
1) You won the coin flip and its your first turn. Winning the coin flip forces a player to start.
2) Your only Pokemon you have in play is your active Pokemon and your opponent has no bench Pokemon
3) A card effect or attack effect that blocks trainers is in effect. (ex. Spiritomb AA Poke-Body or Deafen attack used by Dialga G)

If more than one of these conditions was an answer for the question you had, you should send an email to [email protected] and have the title be Professor Exam Question Error. In the email, write the question and what the possible answer choices were.~Mark
 
Also, if you failed the test, then it would tell you which answer you gave as opposed to the correct answer (if you failed the test)
