　　Two types of tests are commonly used in 9 schools. The first type is called an “objective test”. It is intended to deal with 10 , not personal 11 . On objective tests the student has just one 12 : he must 13 the correct answer and 14 its letter (or number) on his examination paper. Sometimes there is an answer sheet on which the four letters are 15 . Then the student has only to circle the one that 16 with the correct answer.

　　For 17 some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very 18 . A lucky student may 19 the correct answer without really 20 the material.
