The examinee typically knew far more about electronics, regulations, and operating practices than the examiner. With the VEC system there still is the likelyhood that the examiner is not an expert nor comfortable with reviewing specifics with an examinee. | |

I think it would be hard to automate the process of generating a list of incorrect questions for exam "passers", and maybe a general list of sections a student may wish to follow up on for "failers". That is of course unless the testing was moved to an online format. Why isn't the test available to be taken in a controlled online format like with other monitored / administered computer based testing? | |
