I have been driving a car for forty plus years and the state still expects me to take a vision test every three years. Lifes just not fair darn it!
On a more serious note, my daughter is a teacher and has taken a proficiency test and she says its a joke and if someone fails that test they have no business teaching.

Teachers SHOULD know the content of what they are teaching, but these tests are questionable. Will they be base on KNOWING 7th grade math, or though Calculus?
Texas did something like this about 20 years ago. Our 'life-time' certificates were no longer for life. Evaluation processes were put in place. The true level of knowledge has not been impacted.
The 'test' was and is a joke - it is too generic. The evaluations are a joke - too subjective.
