Unexpected Truths: The Fallacy of Hard Tests

“Was it all multiple choice?” I asked. “And how did they grade it?” I was thinking of my own exams. “Did they count only the right answers.?” When he said Yes to all the questions questions, I did not have the heart to tell him what I knew as a mathematical certainty—that the exam was, like most graduate medical exams, and large parts of legal licensing bar exams in most states , virtually a complete fraud.

I felt almost overprepared for the state RN nursing licensure. I didn't feel it was a hard test at all, and then became nervous when I finished well over an hour before anyone else in the room at the end of each section.
I felt the exam was well written - to test thinking as much as knowlege. I can't say that for many of the exams I've taken - especially the technology certification exams.
To sit for the RN state licensure exam, you must attend an accredited school and show a lot of ID, which was all submitted by professors beforehand.
I like the idea of keeping the bar exam 'read law only' as well as college accredited training though. |
