> You may be living in an unjust society, but if you can score X on this test, you will get Y.

In an unusual society, those who are disadvantaged will also be disadvantaged on this test if it becomes important enough to predict one's future prospects. Think private tutoring, specialized schools, summer camps, all focused on teaching you to get a good score on the test, and all expensive as ever (ie inaccessible). And now, your education system develops you for the test, not for life or jobs.

It's an easier sell, but it's a lemon and not a well designed and performant product.

There are plenty of people that score reasonably well without private tutoring, specialized schools or summer camps
