no, i would not consider the tests a sport because they do not fit the three pronged def. of Exertion, competative, and following a set of rules and/or customs. It is certainly mentally exhausting, but the test itself is not a competition (never heard of competative test taking) and while there are rules (no cheating) I wouldn't call them a "set of rules" for taking the test... so no...taking those tests aren't sports. But Chess, poker, Scrabble....all of these are mentally exerting, competative, and have a set of rules and/or customs that they follow...they are sports by definition.
