Anyway the world never has been fair, better to tread your own path if not being recognised.
Many people fail these tests multiple times before they make it - and they also don't receive any feedback. The difference? They had self-awareness and the dedication to figure out where to improve and do better instead of expecting it handed to them on a silver platter.
The tests check for mandatory competencies that are required to do the job successfully. If you do not naturally have the character for it, and choose to behave in an entitled manner and blame the company or others, and play the race / diversity card instead of owning your weaknesses and actively working on them, then no amount of experience or degrees will help you pass.
