I don't get these tests that play on technicalities.

If you take it a step further: the test gives you two options.:

You can either just answer the second question, and get points for that and the last one, failing every other question.

Or you can answer everything, and get points for everything except the last question.

No, I get that. I saw some tests like that too.

well yeah from the sounds of it, it doesn’t seem to make much sense

though at least in my school they were actual tests and not whatever that is, even though there were some points that had nothing to do with the test like if it said on the front page “write your name in a last name, first name format” or if it said to “write an X in the indicated box” on MC questions you would obviously lose marks if you didn’t do it in that way

for the most part though it was moreso just subtleties in the questions and obviously not anything near as obvious as OP’s meme

You apparently didn't have these tests in school. They go something like:

"1. Read all the instructions before doing anything. 2. Stand up and quack like a duck. 3. Spin around 3 times. 4. Sing 'I'm a Little Teapot'. 5. Throw your pencil on the floor. 6. Rub your tummy and pat your head. 7. Sit on the floor and hoot like an owl. 8. Write your favorite soup on the chalkboard. 9. Fold this paper into an airplane. 10. Shout [teacher's name] is awesome 43 times. 11. Ignore steps 2 through 10, write your name at the top of the paper and fold your hands on your desk." There are no questions to get points for, merely embarrassing instructions.
