The article discusses a consensus on the need for improvement of educational accountability tests to include critical thinking skills. Handy E. Bennett, a distinguished presidential scholar at the Educational Testing Service, is quoted saying the test should become a learning experience so that students benefit from taking it and teachers glean important information to improve instruction. The article notes that tests measuring complex thinking often require expensive human grading.
