Your post just made me smile.
There are major philosophical differences between flight training in the USA and Europe.
PPL has a pre solo written exam (basic stuff done by the instructor or flightschool) and ONE FAA computerized exam of 60 questions.
Somehow in Europa-land they feel it requires 7-8 exams?
In the US you learn your Radiotelephony from your instructor and that’s unfortunate as you’ve got some yahoo’s out there that couldn’t udder one standardized phrase.
Each certificate or rating up to ATP only has one computerized exam.
We don’t learn Polar navigation unless you’re employed by a company that is authorized to do so.
Philosophically European standards overemphasize academics and US standards overemphasize practical experience.
At some point your experience plateaus and another 1000 hrs of doing the same thing adds very little value or skill.
Wannabe’s doing these EU 14 Draconian exams forget 85-90% the moment they walk out of the testing center.
There are significant flaws in every system.
