- Certainly the skills used in an essay exam are closer to "real world" skills
- than are those of multiple choice exams, but they are still pretty far away!
- Those of us who claim to "know" about such matters often have never prepared "a
- report in business or government."
-
- I trust that all of those persons who disdain multiple choice exams also eschew
- their use in the form of ACT, SAT and GRE scores!
