Absolutely. True/False tests are very weak devices to measure skill and even overall knowledge in many areas. My point was only to indicate that they can measure both and even analytical skill in some areas and shouldn't be painted with a broad brush.

My study emphasis and graduate paper while I was in the "Ed Block" (the fifth year certification program in California) were both on pre- and post assessment. (testing) While I do not profess to be an expert, I have spend a lot time on evidence and the thought of others as well as my own on the subject.

That interest was, in part, what lead me to become the head of the evaluation committee for two associations.
