One of the ways to most appropriately do this is to test in ways which are compatible with the student's style of expression. Few individuals are equipped to truly give evidence of knowledge before a crowd, particularly on a 'quiz' basis, even more particularly on an impromptu basis. General concepts are more natural to them than facts, data, technicalities or rigid form. In all other cases, from lesser to greater degrees, the multiple choice options create more options, therefore questions, than answers. It can often occur that a total expression blockage occurs when time is imposed on test response.
Stress is a serious factor in perception and expression.
Ratings will give evidence to that fact. If so, the rating would always indicate the inherent 'drive' of the student toward his or her own destiny. Unfortunately, that includes the impact of social and interpersonal relations and is therefore conditional on a relative basis.
