Even at easy levels, I think there should be some open-ended questions and 
some questions where the answer has to be spoken. A first-level Lojbanist 
could be asked "lo finpe ku xabju ma" and should be able to answer "lo djacu" 
or "lo xamsi" or "lo rirxe" or "lo lalxu" without being presented a list of 
possible answers. This part of the test should be recorded, not graded while 
testing.
