Indeed, and ridiculous exams at that. Imagine being at school and they had a several question exam from anything across a four year degree. No information on what area to focus on, because there’s no focus on purpose.

Quarter of a million dollars in a suitcase, loaded gun, and a copper ticking clock on the table next to you. Picture of your kids that need new school clothes.

Miss one question and you fail. Must also be confident, friendly, and not too old while doing it.

This is not how proper exams work, and for good reason.
