I don't think it is a bad thing at all for the students to be taught evolution, and all of its fallacies. Teach them to answer the questions correctly. They will be better prepared to stand on their own two feet, and, as long as the creation model is taught as well, they will be far better informed than their mates, who only know the evolution model.
Implication: teach them to think; don't indoctrinate - with either model.

________________
It has been my personal experience, that MOST or MANY teachers/professors will grade their tests based upon THEIR own opinion, rather on actual objective reality.
If one wishes to score well, one must give the answer the testor wants.
Whether to answer with what WE conceive to be the truth, rather what the testor preceives to be the truth, requires an ethical decision: is giving a "truthful" answer of a higher value, or is getting a good grade?
If the answer seems obvious, consider this: These questions, on a test which (apparently) decides college placement, are, in effect, the first "screening" in the process which keeps (or attempts to keep) anyone who is not "of the Faith" (ie, evolution as faith) being allowed to obtain a degree in plaeontology,etc. If seen in this way, giving a "true" answer on this test will (potentially) have the effect of strengthing the false religion of evolution.
Furthermore, consider how this sould work out, in the workplace: The boss calls a meeting of managerial employees. He says,"We are not doing well, financially. What can I do, to make a profit?"
Should a Christian employee give the "TRUE" answer: "You need to fire yourself, and hire someone who is not a complete fool, to manage the company;" or would some more diplomatic (if somewhat less ABSOLUTELY true) answers be more appropriate, and effective?
This is not an easy question.
