Yes, that's exactly right. When God tests, it is with the EXPECTATION that the person will succeed

Whose expectation? God's? LOL!

1 Cor 10:13...If my above is right, then it looks like all men are tempted, but only the elect are tested

It does not provide the reason for testing. There is no reason for God to test anyone if He knows our hearts and minds.

“There is no reason for God to test anyone if He knows our hearts and minds.”

The reason the teacher tests is not to determine what he/she knows, but whether you will do what you have learned or are about to learn.

Many times God gives the test, then the lesson.

FK: "1 Cor 10:13...If my above is right, then it looks like all men are tempted, but only the elect are tested."

But that presumes that God tests principally for His own benefit. That cannot be so for the very good reason you give. We are tested for OUR benefit. Have you ever been through a trial and come out better spiritually? Of course, we all have.
