The entry exam is being launched to a forest full of monsters. And while they ain't sent on proper missions until at least after a semester of classes, we do know they go into the wild to do field recognition (Forever Fall) and learn and actually practice the specifics to defeat each Grimm type in an controled environment. Oh I'm sure they get in a lot more combat training than say... West Point students; it's directly proportional to the threats either students face. So while they get more training in, it is counter-balanced by the Creatures of Grimm being much more dangerous enemies; thus my point still stands about Beacon students still needing more guidance after graduation.
