Our tests are pretty straightforward like that. Although I would like to try an Idaho test.

yeah, we do station format, but in the one year i did fossils( 2009), i experianced the hardest test EVAR. It was in station, and there were a good 10-15 questions per station. 2 minutes per station. Some of those questions were short answers.

"Is this an Index Fossil? If so, what time periods does it span, and what does it say about its habitat during its lifetime?"

All one question.

Well thats the point though. Its supposed to test your knowledge, yes. However, one of the other things the test does is pick out those that can prioritize. Each question at the station had a number of points next to it. The key to doing well on it would be to do all the questions that were 1 or 2 points. doing all those would superceed the points given for doing all the hard questions.
