How well do these university tests - with their closed conditions - relate to the work environment? How often would I be expected to solve a restricted set of problems without asking anybody for clarification of their requirements, using debugging tools, etc, within a very tight three-hour period?
In response though - should a university be teaching workplace skills in the first place? There's a great difference between academia and commerce, which seems to be very valuable. Technical qualifications (traditionally available from colleges and polytechs as opposed to universities (though the distinctions are very blurred these days)) should cover that sort of stuff, IMO.
