Passage One Questions 21 to 25 to 25 are based on the following passage. For
a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of
examination in addition to objective tests. They use "essay" tests, which require
students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following:"
Mention several ways I which Benjamin Franklin has influenced the thinking of
people in his own country and in other parts of the world." One advantage of the
essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high
score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner
more abort the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole.
It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject. Sometimes, though,
essay tests gave disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write rather good
answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who
actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form.
Besides, in an essay test the student’s score may depend upon the examiner’s
feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the
student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the
same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test
gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to
score. Whether an objective test or an essay test it used, problems arise. When
some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a
fairly clear picture of the student’s knowledge can usually be obtained.
