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
If you're under time pressure, your options for "best" are necessarily limited to those that can safely fit the time budget. In most real-world engineering contexts, working this way is costly in the long run. Why deviate from the demands of the actual work?

If you allow an amount of time that offers the same comfort and space for deep thinking as you would hope an engineer building a bridge has, I'm comfortable calling that an acceptably minimal degree of time pressure. But we both know that is not how timed tests work.
