They can keep the dam test the way it is, but put it at the end of the process instead of the beginning. My goodness, we've made passing an astronaut test the single most important aspect of getting hired here. Someone could be a great dude/dudette, fantastic pilot, tons of experience, and with all the qualifications in the world but will never get to demonstrate that to an interviewer if they aren't first and foremost an excellent test taker. Who came up with this genius idea?

Do the sim first, pass that and you go to the HR part of the interview. Throw the test in at the end and just use the score as a factor in the decision whether to hire or not. Not the only factor.
