...but who's to make such a test after all?
I'd be willing to make or collaborate in making it, from
the language side. But I would need someone else
to do the technical/software implementation.
I'm the opposite. I'm a programmer but I have very little
Lojban knowledge.
A couple of other things I could bring to the table: I'm
an author and I was a teacher (community college) for
four years, besides my two years as a TA in grad school.
I have made quite a few tests. :)
This <http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/halfbaked/> or something
based on that might serve as a start for people who know
how to fiddle with those things.
I think there are enough coders lurking here that we could
design something of our own pretty easily.
A web-based solution might be good.
We could start with a simple fixed list of questions. Then
later we could add in some randomizing of content, and even
pick a small number of questions from a larger pool. (E.g.,
ask all the "important" cmavo, and then a random 10% of
the lesser-used ones.)
At this point, I don't think a human-graded test would
be realistic, but a lot can be done with computer-grading.
Right, grading by hand would be a pain. But even reading
comprehension can be tested with simple multiple choice
or fill-in-the-blank questions and so on.
