Answer 1

Entrance exam to what, exactly? Usually it's basically to improve English skills and also for a bit of challenge. Many English Language tests do it, it's just their "thing", I guess, but normally English comes easily.

Answer 2

Entrance exam to what? If you're taking an exam for college or something, it matters because more advanced vocabulary is used in academic writing constantly. If you can't understand the stuff you're assigned to read, you're going to have problems, that's why tests like that are given.
