A person get's a 100% on his last Organic Chemistry exam, but then he only get a 81% on his Organic Chemistry Laboratory Practical exam. What does this mean? He can learn the material but he doesn't know how to apply it??

Theory-based questions and practical application are two different skills. Also, maybe this person didn't study as much for the practical exam? That happens to me all the time. I know the theory, but when it comes to doing the lab, I crumble. I don't know why though. Probably just intimidated by all the chemicals that can blow up the building or something.

Just having the mastered the raw knowledge of Organic Chemistry, doesn't mean you have mastered the practical laboratory protocols to properly and scientifically demonstrate your knowledge to the same degree.
You know it better than you can show it.

Doing a lab requires different skills from doing a test.
