Organizing and evaluating tests is not nearly as costly as finding/training/hiring/maintaining capable teachers who can evaluate students in a more analog (and preferable) way than looking at exam scores to determine whether they should be admitted/held back. Especially in places where there are more students/candidates than there are resources to teach, such as most east Asian countries.
