A test that's too easy becomes a test of carefulness rather than its subject matter.

Isn't that what all of SAT and ACT are? They would be trivial if not for the time constraint.

And the more easy it is, the more people are going to perform perfectly, the more gap there is between a perfect and non-perfect performance, the more costly every trivial mistake of unscrupulousness.
