It means few questions can be included in given test. Example if in one particular book 18 chapters are given, teacher cannot ask question from all the chapters. They have to neglect some areas.

If all students are writing same answer of one question, why they get different marks? In essay test answer of question are scored differently by different teacher. Even the same teacher scores the answer differently at different times.
