I like this approach. It would be nice to actually SHOW what you know, instead of having to express it in writing.

What about an excrutiatingly large question pool designed for adaptive
testing? Integration of free-response/essay questions? A live-distro
that requires actual skill to accomplish a real task that can be
recorded and graded or automatically analyzed? The key I would think
would be to make the testing as multi-faceted as possible with
emphasis on skill and knowledge.
