I'm all for more computer based assessments. But the idea of taking a math test on a computer sounds horrible. I remember MyMathLab in college. you could have the right answer, but if you did not enter it in the precise way that it wanted, then it was wrong.

MyMathLab was horrible. I spent as much time getting used to the clunky interface, the first few weeks as, I did learning math.
