That's exactly my point. The ultimate goal is that we must learn. Now, what is more important for an individual? The reasons why an all-knowing God test us? or What you will learn from those tests? If you chose the former you're trying to understand God's logic (good luck with that) and you consider that to be more important. If you chose the latter then you're satisfied with what you will learn from the tests. And quite simply the latter is more important for an individual.
You can trump any argument by saying that "no one can understand gods logic".
Beyond that, when you ask someone a question...knowing full well what their answer will be, then you aren't testing...your proving yourself right.

Tests are an evaluation, not a lesson.

The teacher may already know all of the answers to the questions, but the test is not determine what the teacher knows but what the students have learned.An all-knowing God would not have to test humans to determine what they have learned because He would already know.

Yes , but graduating from school does not mean that life now turns to a joyride because what you've learned always influences or shape your life further on and after school there is colledge, jobs, relationships, marriage, etc the testing goes on and on. It is what you learn from it that is important. By "passing" the tests from God (or even sometimes Satan), we grow stronger spiritually and become more steadfast in God's ways. The Bible speaks of us being like babies drinking "mothers milk" and gradually being introduced to "food" as we grow spiritually, as we study God's word, as we implement regular prayer times until graduation comes when Christ returns.
