And that's exactly my point. If some sort of sanction were set on people
taking the exam too many times (however we want to define that), then that
would mean that people would be more careful about their earlier attempts
and wouldn't use them for 'practice'.
Again, back to my free soda analogy. If everybody can take only a few free
sodas, then people would be more careful about taking those sodas that they
really want. They wouldn't just take a bunch of Diet Coke that they don't
really want (just because they're free), thereby denying Diet Cokes to
people who do want them.
