I find that it is incredibly helpful to switch up testing styles within our class structure. Students often get too used to one style of test, and then can only regurgitate the information for the short term based on the test structure itself. i feel that a more comprehensive method really helps the students to actually learn and retain the information. a combination between kinesthetic 'hands-on' tests, written subjective tests, and then written objective tests works really well for a full scope of testing knowledge.
