That's certainly true.

Not always, but usually in academia it's been my experience that that's 
true.  In uni, most exams are not vetted as well as a certification exam, 
and the professors/teachers aren't trained in psychometric analysis, item 
analysis, or how even really how to write good questions that measure 
learning effectively.
