Especially high school math can be gamed effectively. For "word problems" you can drill students to look for keywords and they will arrive at the right result without understanding the problem. My wife teaches at a 4-year state school and tells me that one of her students did just that, she looked for plausible keywords but then didn't know what to do next, this was chemistry, not math. Reading comprehension is harder to game.
