 The questions come out of computer at a speed which is dependent on
 how fast the applicant is answering them.  Scramble the questions
 and the multi-choice answers so that if one memorizes the "little
 red book" of all the questions and answers it won't help unless
 s/he understands and knows the material.
 
 The machine keeps feeding questions until it is a guaranteed "pass"
 or a guaranteed "fail" and then it terminates the exam session. The
 applicant does not know whether s/he passed or not until the
 results are sent by mail. Just like the olden days.....
 
 
 
 Back in 1994 I lived in Oregon for a year.  The written driver's test at
 the DMV was
 done with a computer with touch screen.  I knew how many questions I got
 wrong, but
 lost track of how many more I had to complete during the test.  Then it
 told me that
 I passed and my score, around 92%.
 
 Paper tests generated just before the VE session via computer would be
 cheaper and
 easier than dedicated hardware like that DMV had anyway.
