But, tests can we written in a way that are not objective. Some tests are written to trick the taker or the questions are so muddled it is difficult to figure out what is being asked. But if written in a straightforward manner, I do think that tests are the only objective assessment. But, I don't think that they are the best type of assessment of student learning. Personally, I feel that there needs to be a combination of assessment types, objective and subjective, to fully test student learning. That way different learning styles are addressed through the assessment.
