I would say that the problem is not so much exams, but the format of exams. Since WWII the predominant form is multiple choice, which requires students not to KNOW the answer, but merely to RECOGNIZE it when presented. Retention of data is the first casualty.

Exams should be more of evaluation or synthesis which are higher learning principles. This will motivate the students to apply what they have learned.
