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. It wouldn't need dedicated hardware - just software Whatcha gonna run that software on? - Mike KB3EIA - |
