I prefer essay tests, because you have a chance to do better on them if you know what you're talking about. :roll:
When you don't know the answer to a multiple choice test, you only have a 50-50 chance of getting it right. With an essay test, you might not bring up a specific point the instructor is hoping for, but you might add something which could replace it and still pass.
Plus, I like to write.
Just putting in my 50 cents worth (which is only about 34 cents after taxes)
