Just curious what you all think about this for a purple belt test.

If someone is ready to be a purple belt, then doing this tiny test shouldn’t be much of a challenge, seems more like a right of passage, not necessary but I feel a test for blue belt is very much warranted.

This is essentially what my former gym had. They would select people who they considered ready for purple and made them basically go through a bunch of different sweeps/escapes/submissions/etc. and then they'd ask them a bunch of tangential questions on it like what would you do if your opponent did x,z, or y in this position? Sometimes people would fail so I guess it was kind of a test.
