Not only that, IIRC ( never went through it), France has a popular test format with multiple choice questions, QCM, which penalises you for mistakes ( as in points are actively deducted for every wrong answer instead of just not given), which is IMHO terrible because it encourages memorisation and zero thought.

I mean, it exists, like everywhere else, but I wouldn't call it popular. Most of the tests aren't multiple-choice.
