Tests are not objective. Have you ever tried to design an unbiased survey question? It’s really hard.
Tests are biased toward native speakers of a language and people who share a culture with the test creators. The subset of questions can have a bias inherent to them. There are just a million ways that they’re not “objective,” and that’s not even getting into the context around the taking of the test!
