Potioncat:

I am impressed with the test. 

The questions were clear and direct. There wern't any oddly worded 
questions with even stranger choices for answers. The students could 
answer in their own words with their own internal library of 
information. There one or two essays within the test and several more 
questions with long answers.

This isn't like today's standardized tests to be graded by computer. 
How long do you think it took teachers to grade the tests? 

Yep. Beats the heck out of tiny bubbles.
