Another issue is the need for examiners who knew the material

can grade a multiple-choice test but essays require a grader that
knows the stuff - and has the time.


That was the main reason. The Commercial Radiotelegraph Operator
exams has diagrams to the end, and we always had to call an engineer
to grade those questions.
