I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but when I was in middle school, it was common practice, before a test, to ask “Does spelling count?”
Once, I recall a wag in class asking that before a spelling test. Hilarious.
It all ended one day before a Civics test, when the teacher answered, “You’re not children. Spelling always counts now.”
That was a dark day indeed.
