A lecture hall full of click-click-click isn't going to be conducive to concentrating on a test.
If you can't concentrate while people are working on computers near you, I don't think you'll do well in any workplace that is based around knowledge work.
This is why I prefer working alone at night and am massively more productive. In any case, what's being tested in an exam setting is one's understanding of the course material, not whether they are a good fit for your idea of a normal workplace.
I had tons of exams like that. Its not an issue as the computers simply do not have loud mechanical keyboards connected
