You people act like the test is that hard to pass. When I got my password back in 2004, the requirements (even though there was no real test, but people saw you getting better and at a certain moment you 'deserved' the password) were about the same.
Plus, the requirements have been purposely kept low, because the community is smaller nowadays; this test doesn't require you to be a top10 player, but only requires some basic thps3 skills/knowledge. Something, in my opinion, you may expect from someone who is consciously joining servers with a so called propassword.
And the whole password based on friends thing, got us to this place in the first place, it is not because of skill requirements that has lead to huge competitive differences, it was because some people did not care about any requirements and just gave the password to their friends and these friends gave it to their friends. Fortunately it was not appreciated (especially in the beginning) when you told passwords. Imagine how bad it was now, when it was appreciated.

7 xtc in 1 random level (multiple tries allowed, number depends on how much you get in the failed attempts)
Getting at least 1:00 in a 2 min koth game.
Some cz game to test your skills/tactics
And some really basic knowledge, at which in my tests nobody ever failed at.
This test is also perfectly doable for TA/Graffiti players.
