competency testing during orientation

Is it a standard practice to have tests during stages of orientation? I've had to demonstrate skills and have had tests during my hospital orientation. For example, I have quizzes with about 10 questions which I'm able to use any resource available to answer the questions. These questions usually pertain to looking up a policy or procedure. I have to demonstrate a skill proficiently with the orientation coordinator observing, such as physical assessment or NP suctioning on a patient. Then I have to role play patient teaching. Last week it was teach my coordinator how to do peak flows. Feels like I'm back in school and it's added stress. I don't know if the hospital does this as a measure to make sure a nurse is ready to come off orientation. Some of my friends that I graduated with that work at other hospitals say it's ridiculous and we're licensed RN's and it seems crazy.

I haven't been on orientation for a new job in over 10 years. I will do whatever it takes to get through orientation and be successful in my new job, but just wondering if it's common...
