That's not the purpose of most driving tests. Usually the purpose is to see if someone is good enough that they'll learn the rest on their own without being too much of a danger to others.
Realistically most people who pass a driving test are going to be bad drivers for a long while. (Unless they are testing for a license in another state/country and have already driven a lot.)
Real time for what?

Naturally. There's a driving examiner in the front passenger seat; getting an accurate picture of someone's everyday driving in such conditions is more or less impossible.
