This is how tests in general work, though. You study hard to pass it and then once you get your mark you forget most of the stuff you studied because it's not actually relevant in real life.

Exams are for testing ability to learn that knowledge. If/when you need that knowledge you have a starting point for how and where to obtain the necessary information again.

Bah. If you don't know it cold, then forget about it.
