Let us consider a math class. Each chapter teaches a certain technique for solving a particular class of problems. When you take the chapter quiz/test, you automatically know what technique you need to use, you are just tested whether you have master that technique. In the final exam, when you are given a problem, you have to recognize what kind of problem it is, what technique you should choose. You are tested for the gestalt. This is different from your chapter test. That is why final exam should not be exempted.
