Unhelpful but my thoughts are second graders shoukdn't be getting grades and testing should only be for teacher planning purposes.
My K student is getting letter grades... but I do agree with you.
I live in a different country. Grades may happen at middle school or maybe not to high school. It is good mostly but it can lead to parents thinking all is fine until it obviously isn't. Multi choice isn't that common either.
If multi choice is going to be ongoing I agree with lessons in testing. With multi choice knowing how to do it is as important as knowing the subject. Sad but there it is.
