Here here. The real problem with tests of any sort is that they don't test real world application. So while they serve a purpose, acing a test isn't the same as designing a nested-axle belt-driven transmission. Realistically, there ought to be both in schools, but so many extracurriculars are being dropped that you'd think only academics matter.
