Even at easy levels, I think there should be some open-ended questions and=
=20
some questions where the answer has to be spoken. A first-level Lojbanist=20
could be asked "lo finpe ku xabju ma" and should be able to answer "lo djac=
u"=20
or "lo xamsi" or "lo rirxe" or "lo lalxu" without being presented a list of=
=20
possible answers. This part of the test should be recorded, not graded whil=
e=20
testing.
