I'm not entirely sure about that.
Say you're a scientist, and you're marking papers each year, in the third year, as a scientist, you would know more and be better at scientsting than you were on the first year. So, by compairson, the knowledge required for the test seems less and less compaired to your personal knowledge.

you are assuming that knowledge and ability increases with time
this does not seem to be the case with a lot of people I've met, and certain organisations

I can't imagine anyone who's knowledge or ability goes down over time, when they've spent a considrable portion of that time doing the subject in question

when on secondment I was told by one of the senior guys there
that everyone who joins gets rapidly deskilled. You might be brilliant when you start, but the organisation is so shit that everyone loses the ability to actually do anything.
