Why was the PLAN test such a pain?

Today sucked, to put it simply. It was because of the PLAN test. Why did we need to take this test? It started out really slow, write you name, school ID number, and address. Then we get asked all these stupid questions about what we like to do, and they are so vague that you really don't have any idea what to write, or are just so random that you have to wonder if the person who made these questions pulled paper out of a hat with different jobs written on them. "Would you like to be a tour guide?" No, I would like to make money in my lifetime. "Would you like to watch for forest fires?" No, I would want to have a job where I actually do something. After that long and tiring process, we finally start the actual test. Why weren't we ever told what was going to be on the test? It would of been helpful if I had some idea of what to look over, I mean, this is my future we're talking about. And why is this thing timed? If we are trying to prove what we know, then why are we being pressured to answer fifty questions in twenty five minutes? How long did it take Einstein to come up with E=MC^2? If it was under a month, then I'll be impressed. And why was the "Science" portion of the test really more like "Read a bunch of tables, graphs, and charts about useless information"? I thought the questions were going to be like "Why is the sky blue?" not "Read table 3, what happened to the tomato after the third day?"
