Nancy:

You used the word "skills" throughout your discussion of the Part II exam.
It seems to me that the exam is specifically a test of knowledge.

Qualification to perform a particular job includes a mix of knowledge,
skills, and abilities.  Skills and abilities are adequately demonstrated by
the practical experience requirement and sponsor recommendations.  The exam
then serves to verify the knowledge component.

Just my opinions.
