I guess the point is, the 100m sprint is about as objective as you can get when it comes to testing short distance running ability. A shorter time means a faster person, no exceptions.
There is no such academic test, so there's always a gap between 'test prep' and 'learning'. The best prepared student may not be the best student.
To me at least, there's nothing depressing about working hard for some goal. There is something depressing about learning something ultimately meaningless (the contents of a test) so you can make the test itself meaningless.
