Expected vs Correct, which is "right"?

2011-03-10 20:54:03.512578+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Well worth reading if you're in education or test making: How I Passed My U.S. Citizenship Test By Keeping The Right Answers To Myself. Like most tests, an intelligent person has to remember that there's the expected answer and a correct answer, and the teacher/tester wants the expected one.

Which is related to that just posted observation on Thomas Kuhn and so much of what I'm digging through right now.
