   1 flagged finding: a generic quote attributed to Dr. Richard Luecht with no citation; the real Luecht reference in this article's own bibliography is about a different, more technical topic (automatic item generation), confirming the quote is unverified and grafted on.

   Before

   "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

   After

   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.

   Why: 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.
