And ISTR reading that the FCC had adopted the practice of using published questions and answers after finding that the system worked OK for the FAA for pilots' licenses. So if the Amateur license tests are being dumbed down, they are not the only oner. 1. Most everything is done that way today. Make a question pool large enough, and there is no problem. A thought: If a question pool is cheating, then a book with the answers in the test in the course of reading is cheating too. So... The only way that *some* Hams will be happy is if the test questions have answers in no book - that is to say that all testing will have to be in the form of basic research - the new ham will have to advance the state of the art in his/her admission test. Otherwise the new ham is cheating and isn't as good as the old ham. 8^) (I just recently had to listen to an old timer in person on a tirade about the worthless new hams - again.) - Mike KB3EIA - |
