    I always preferred essays to multiple guess tests. Sometimes, you can bullshit your way through to an A.

        You do have to know things, but you don’t always have to interpret the questions as intended by the test writer.

          That really depends on the essay topic and the teacher… it’s often a guessing game about what arguments and conclusion the teacher considers valid. Really depends on the teacher and how far off the mainstream your arguments and conclusions are, though.
