I'm an ex Big4 auditor and you're right. I know HN likes to bash these kinds of companies but they're full of highly competent people that are managed by idiots. These tests are bullshit internal things, think "Phishing awareness" with some stupid 20 question quiz on if you should open an email attachement or not.

They're also working absolutely insane hours, especially during "busy season", and are expected to complete the training in their spare time or time off. It's usually tied to your bonus too, if you haven't done the yearly training you've worked for nothing. Anyone in their shoes would have looked for the answers to save 40 hours of bullshit training on top of an 80-100 hour work week.
