Not to be flip, but I believe if you do a bit of research on the imporvments
in Texas education ( for everyone) in the last six year, you will find a
pleasnt surprise. I do agreewith you , on the use of true or false tests,
all you need if you are halfway lucky, is to guess right on 50 %, giving you
a 50% right score! That seems to be about all that is necessary to "get by"
in todays average education system!
