BOne longer written test
CMultiple modes of assessment
DOnly timed speed drills
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Multiple modes of assessment
1. The paper says multiple modes of assessment, rather than the unique test pattern, need to be encouraged.
2. That calls for research and a variety of assessment models widely shared.
3. A longer test, oral recall or speed drills still keep one pattern.
