ASE testing is a pretty good idea / concept and
i am in favor of it
but
there are cliff notes type preparation pamphlets available - many techs take the tests after studying the cliff notes - and squeak through the multiple guess questions -

this does not mean the test taker can actually fix broken cars ,
you can not really teach critical thinking and you can not get the needed experience
from a multiple guess test or a cliff notes pamphlet-

new systems and new tools are being released
always -
the learning never stops
it never ends
it does not slow down or take a rest
ever .
study and learn , or fade away .
