The latest response to Illinois' CDLs-for-bribes scandal is the use of computers to give written exams.
The computers generate random tests of about 30 questions out of a pool of 900. A spokesman for Secretary of State Jesse White said people had been known to take the old paper tests home and memorize the answers.
The computers will score the tests immediately after the applicant finishes taking it - eliminating the opportunity for state workers to fill in blank answers or change scores in exchange for bribes.
The state plans to have the computers installed in 10 facilities by the end of June. They are already being used in Elk Grove, South Holland and West Chicago. The upgrade will cost $1 million.
