The tests are close to worthless. It is easy to check if someone truly did what they claim on their resume by asking questions about projects they worked on. Caught way more people misrepresenting on their capabilities by doing that but you have to have people doing the interview who has both breadth and depth in multiple areas.

I rarely see interviewer(s) asking questions to try and discover the person level of knowledge but instead ask questions showing theirs.
