Bob: How long an exam do you want? Shall we also then test for mitigating false beats, oh and while we're there, re-pin that section of the bridge, and, by golly, twist a few bass strings? The exam is designed to "weed in" as well as "weed out". Almost simply by taking it, one is proving why one has become a member of the PTG in the first place: to be an exemplar at large and to one's colleagues by demonstrating advanced knowledge and "advancing" knowledge.

This is a major failing of the tuning exam. The exam should represent real world tuning, not an attempt to make a piano stable by prepping it in an un-natural way. The exam should test for pitch raising and tuning, just as we do every day in the field.
