Re: Re: The Fallacy of Hard Tests

[Guest guest]

Remember, most exams, whether the state bar exam or the NREMT exam, are

focused on knowledge, not upon judgment. We all too often test on what a

profession or occupation allows its members to do, not upon what they SHOULD

do.

For example, just because you can push a med, does it mean you should?

Very good points, every disbarred lawyer passed at least one Bar and every

MD, RN even hairdresser that was forced out of practice passed some test

remains as to what one would use to measure ability to hit the streets if

not a

test?
