> HOW do you measure knowledge?

This question has no meaning unless you specify what the goal of the measurement is. There are two main options.

1. Measurement as part of education process — for the sake of both teacher and the student.

2. Measurement as part of external qualifications — for the people who would later use the credentials achieved in measurement to accept you to higher education and to extend job offers.

Most of the problems with different measurement strategies happens because people conflate the two.
