The main problem is that lots of (not all) people think, if they have
quizzes done,
they are ready to be developers, some of them even think if they copy-pas=
ted
the answer and give us the quote it is ok and they will pass. The answer =
for
both statements is no.

Quzzes are being treated as an obstacle to be a dev, like "wow, I have
to answer
so much questions to be the dev, I have no time for this". The short
answer is:
"if you have no time to fill quizzes you are not ready to be the dev",=C2=
=A0
people
who are ready spend very little amount of time filling them with zero
difficulty.
