I believe Jim N2EY and I have a similar viewpoint as to making
the written into two or more specific and separate elements for
each class. Where I would differ from your suggestion is that
it makes no difference which element(s) are passed first as long
as each stands on its own.

My idea was not to create separate elements but to change the marking system
slightly.

Each question in the pool would be classified by certain subjects - rules and
regs, safety, theory, etc. Probably only 4 subjects, not the 10 or so we had
before. Rules and regs are one obvious subject, safety another, operating
procedures, and theory. And each test would contain a certain number from each
subject.

The difference would be that in order to pass you'd need a certain number in
each subject correct, not just the total. So even though there might not be
that many safety questions on a test, you could not get them all wrong or most
of them wrong and still pass.

But it would only be one test and one element.
