Right whiteboard interview recently?
A good test is one that successfully identifies a range of relevant competencies when: - The takers are not placed under time pressure - The takers have access to any resources they'd like to use that are generally available to them in life

One thing you have in real life is people who might just do the test for you. Or for anyone that pays them. Generally, as long as trade is possible it's very unclear what it means for someone to "have a competency" in this general sense.

"Generally available" is crucial, for this reason... but I'll point out that I've seen some genuinely ingenious tests, ones where the ability to vet & hire a replacement taker would in and of itself be an incredibly valuable skill

If you think you can solve any problem presented to you on a test, but not any *real world problem*, you have just been trained on subpar tests.

Unless you are testing competencies that are usually _applied_ under time pressure in practice, such as first aid skills.

Seems as though you are describing the opposite of the EU education model: They emphasize oral exams much more emphatically.
