But that is real life...

Exam-based certifications are based on knowledge of a predetermined
body of what the certifying organization defines as knowledge, more
or less by definition. Problem solving in a real life situation
may be based on that Common Body of Knowledge, as ISC2 call it,
but exams generally attempt to measure knowledge, rather than
skill in -applying- knowledge.
