Maybe cheating? It would be easier to sneak a peek at your smartphone if one proctor has to cover an acre of students.

That's fair. The ten tests thing still works. That's 1/10 the people occupying the same volume. Transmission is going to be minimal (or absent) if masked.

Cheating via smartphone can encompass anything from directly looking up an answer, to sending someone the essay prompt and having them send you a completed essay which you just copy down.

Can you name a good test by your standards?
