If they did then it would not be possible to “teach the test” other than by teaching the full subject. If there are any shortcuts a teacher can take with the class then the test is a failure. I used to write tests all the time in my subjects and my tests could not be gamed. I would have half multiple choice questions drawn from every area we covered in the semester and half essay questions where the students had to integrate what they learned into a coherent answer. My students would ask me what they had to learn for the final exam and I would always say everything - if it wasn’t going to be examined there was no point teaching it because the students won’t both learning it :)
