Open book is the norm. Remember in a technical trade it is impossible to remember in everything so the issue becomes one of not having to know the answer but knowing where to find it

... knowing where to find it ... remember everything

Trouble is trying to remember if there's a rule or not and remembering where to find it.

Multiple choice is too easy - learn in a day or two and take exam that afternoon or the afternoon on the second day - then forget everything after 6 months and end up doing cowboy work, purely because you'd forgotten there were some rules. If you'd remembered there were some rules about that aspect you'd have looked them up.

In the old days you had to write answers. If you had no idea you left a blank space and were marked accordingly. I talk like an old hand and being a "fast track" plumber I do feel a bit of a fraud sometimes that you only have to know enough to pass at the appropriate time. The old hands have spent longer learning and will therefore spend longer forgetting everything.

I read a letter the other day about an invigilator who was overseeing a GSCE biology multiple choice exam. He passed with an okay pass mark. The catch was he'd not read any of the questions but just randomly ticked the answers!!

It's called dumbing down imho.

Public water systems are required to test for chemical water contaminants four times as often as bottled water companies. In addition, loopholes in the FDA’s testing policy do not require the same standards for water that is bottled and sold in the same state, meaning that a significant number of bottles have undergone almost no regulation or testing.
