Exactly. Except that the written tests, by virtue of their being only one
right answer that has already been chosen to be the right one, is much more
stable. Yes, sometimes the right answer isn't so right. BUT, by virtue of
agreeing to take the test you have studied for, you are agreeing that the
right answers are right.

By your observation above, the CW test is dependent on tone quality, morse
style, etc. It is not a very stable test environment.

Not at all!

The accomodations available in the code test are similar to accomodations
available in the written test. For example, if someone has limited vision, the
written might be printed in large plain easy-to-read text like 48 point Arial
rather than 10 point Times New Roman. Blind people might take the test in
Braille or aurally. People with limited mobility might use various devices to
fill out the answer sheet, or verbalize their answers rather than writing them.


Because the written tests are not timed, a written test can take anywhere from
a few minutes to hours.
