OK, I'll say it.

Are we sure that objective tests are the best measure of math
learning. I use them to form 80-90% of a grade depending on the
semester.

And I can track how my students do in following courses. But, I
don't have a control group where I've graded significantly more on
any alternative assessment.

Just Reflecting,
