Every musician needs to train their hearing. It helps to learn to enjoy everything you need to do to become a musician. Should they be in exams? Depends on what the exam is examining. If it is instrumental performance then neither has any business being inthe exam. The performance is all. If it is all-round musicianship that is being examined then both should be in the exam, along with many more things, many of which (sadly) are not.
