The exact change
"Certification exam questions at the professional level are specifically designed to assess whether candidates can think like practitioners, not like students. The question format encodes a real-world decision scenario; the answer choices represent the range of options a practitioner might consider. Candidates who understand this approach questions as professional decisions rather than knowledge tests." -- Dr. Richard Luecht, University of North Carolina Greensboro, Educational Testing

Suggested change
De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim; retained the legitimate Luecht academic reference since it was not the direct source of the fabricated pull-quote sentence.
Why this is better
De-attributed a generic quote credited to Dr. Richard Luecht with no citation; the real Luecht reference in this article's own bibliography covers a different, more technical topic (automatic item generation), confirming the quote was unverified and grafted onto his name. Converted to unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim; retained the legitimate Luecht reference unchanged.
