This point still confuses me. If the lesson to be learned is that seven times nine equals sixty-three, and the test question says "7 X 9 = ___", where's the harm? Or, if the lesson to be learned is, what was the history of the American colonies, and the test then asks about details of the colonies as a sampling method to see if the students learned what they were supposed to learn, where's the harm? Can you give me an example like this that illustrates what you mean?
