“Well designed? is doing heavy lifting here. You can get very good at specific test formats in terms of time management, common tricks, etc. Actual tests include things like: Multiple choice questions were providing answers aids answering the question. Short responses / fill in the blank generally mean people can just regurgitate answers they don’t understand. Essay responses sound great, except you can’t answer many questions and essays writing is a separate skill which heavily influences final scores. More broadly tests are time limited so can’t test skills that take long periods of time to demonstrate a major issue for say programming. |

Every programming class I've taken, in high school or college, was project based where the main source of grade were actual programs I wrote which actually did something.
The one exception perhaps being the AP test for AP CS.
