And I'd like to point out that back when...the blue book you filled out in law school exams didn't reveal your skin color to the professor. It had a number not your name, it was color blind (well, except for the color of the book). If you underperformed the rest of the class... it was based upon test scores, NOT skin color, 'cause the teacher didn't know who's test he was grading.
Can't say how they do it today.

That is how they should do it today.
Giving a pass to someone who does not understand a subject is of no longterm benefit...to neither the student nor to their future potential client.

When I was in pharmacy school, several of my professors would give only multiple choice tests. They would openly admit it was to avoid being hit with a discrimination suit in grading, as the test would be 100 percent objective with no subjective grading involved.

Most students take the test on a computer now, but you still have anonymous numbers.
