Same. The focus on written exams rated blindly and uniformly at the US higher education system always puzzled me. I guess that's the only way to scale things up when you pay professors and teachers living wages?

The blind aspect (I would assume) is meant to cut down on favoritism and discrimination. With the US I understand how that would come about.

Whether it succeeds in that goal is a separate topic.
