Cramming or vomit learning is how i passed most tests even with best grades in uni. I didnt understand one proffessors aproach to logic math so i learned his test questions like 100 pages and aced the test. Did i cry during learning? Yes. Anyhow even if it only helps cramming it does give advantages in tests.
I would even go as far as saying such interview-type tests would be valuable on a regular basis throughout a course, if it could be done. People learn really well during personal conversations like that, and the act of explaining an idea can be a great way to crystallize a body of concepts in a way that merely reading about them might never do.
I know institutions would want to fob this interviewing work off onto an LLM, but I know it would be of meagre benefit.
I agree with your understanding test idea.
