One thing to remember when it comes to tests is, in the real world a
writer won't have a task popped on them at 10 AM and be expected to
produce a finished, ready-to-send-to-the-printer document by 10:30.
The normal process is to have some time to get to know the material
(perhaps not a lot of time in contract situations, but a few hours at
least), time to write, and crucially time to revise. I don't see how
you can do that in a short on the spot test. Take home tests may be a
better approach to allow the writer to use all of his/her skills.
