Y not CAT-ISHTYLE?

Today must rank as one of the most academically nerve racking days here. This is the first time this prof for operations is taking a course for us and he is a complete physcho(if he's reading this, i can be guaranteed i will not complete my MBA in 6 years). The guy gives CAT type quizzes where there is +1 for the right answer and -4 for the wrong one!!!! Thats not the only catch. You get progressive bonus points as you submit earlier or negative if you submit late. Which means

Time
62 minutes Minus 2
61 miniutes Minus 1
1 hr 0
59 minutes Plus 1
58 minutes Plus 2
57 minutes Plus 3
56 minutes Plus 4
55 minutes Plus 5

Of course 5 is the maximium bonus you would get.
There is more. Last year the average scores of our seniors was somewhere in the range of 5- 10 out of 100!!!!!
Most ended up getting negative marks!!!
Wait....here's the real deal..Your marks are carried over to the end sem even if they are negative!!!!!!
Which means that some of us would be going into an end sem exam with negative marks!!!!
Imagine going into an exam requiring 50 to pass when 45 is the actual pass mark!!!!
The tests are more of strategy than knowledge.....and guess what ?..I love it...reminds me of my CAT days where it was soooo exciting to give a test. Infdact I wouldn't mind if ten more strange rules were also added to make the test more exciting.
It makes me wonder whether B-schools should consider this as a viable alternative. After all the rationale for CAT, FMS, and other entrance tests is that they test you on strategy, decision making skills, etc which are supposed to be vital to be successful as a manager.So why does that stop with CAT. Why doesn't it continue through B-schools. Atleast a portion of the tests can be strategy oriented to keep us all as sharp as were during the prep stage.
Food for thought, whatsay
