I think it’s done deliberate to crush incoming smart kid egos.

That’s always possible, but if so it is a failure on the professor.

The purpose of an exam is to be able to tell who has learned the material to different degrees (A, B, C, D, F category). If the test is too easy or (as in this case) too hard, that does not happen.

Exactly.
Kids that were #1 and #2 in High School learn they are not so special. No more coasting, hit the bokoks and listen to the lecture
