Let me put it this way: if someone is not disabled and still unable or too lazy to understand the clock, they shouldn’t be in the exam room in the first place.
This is not a “discrimination” - most exams are for the people with a some level of the IQ, certainly above the level of a radiator. Or a stool.
They can understand the clock? Just not the analog clock. Why should they anyways? It’s not like that’s the only way to tell time and since reading analog clocks is an unrelated skill why do u think they’re not fit to write exams? It has nothing to do with IQ, it’s just that analog clocks aren’t as common as they used to be. Hence, they’re less used to them than previous generations. They probably can learn to read them if they wanted to, but they just don’t bother, since they don’t really need it these days
Do you see the difference between “exist” and “widely spread” or you are one of these unable to learn how to use the clock?
Cuz
A what?
But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones
Yes, that’s precisely my point. People who are unable to understand analog clocks are also likely to not be able to understand any exams.
It is simple really - if you are unable to do 2 x 2 without calculator or read half past three from the analog clock, you better stick to being a bricklayer or serving burgers rather than doing exams. There is no “entitlement” to do exams.

Because it is is widely used?
Why should they learn alphabet in the first place? Why should they learn numbers?
It’s not really widely used anymore.
Alphabets can’t be replaced by something easier and more convenient. But clocks can be
Absolute and utter rubbish. Now go to the first high street shop with watches and try again.
Your point is?
Maps can be easy replace with a GPS. Ability to read maps is still (and should be) on the curriculum.
Calculator has replaced the need to add, multiply and divide, yet we still ask children to learn these skills.
Go figure 🙄
Digital clocks exist there too
Cuz the mind is quicker with smaller calculations than a calculator.

Nope. They don’t doesn’t mean they can’t learn how to. They won’t be able to understand exams only if they can’t learn how to.
You’re basically repeating all the points I’ve already addressed.
Since they didn’t despite being taught, it means exactly this sweetie.
Let me guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you?
