>But passing tests indicates some knowledge, right?

No, it doesn't. It merely indicates that you happened upon the right
answers. I once passed college exam on Western Civilization. Got three
credits for passing the test. Did no studying, and this was *not* a class
exam, but rather an advanced placement exam.

Tests are meaningless at measuring anything except your ability to pass
tests.

Have fun,
