In American schools (and probably elsewhere too, but I can only speak for America) spelling tests are for how the word is written as opposed to pronounced; to use an example from the picture, "chloreen" is an incorrect spelling of the word "chlorine". The humor in the picture stems from the fact that the only world the kid spelled correctly was "illiterate".

MY EYES! MY EYES ARE BURNING! The horrendously bad grammar on this picture set my eyes on fire!! AAAAAGGGHHH!!
This reminds me of my friend from primary school who used to write on English class in cyrillic xD He was that lazy type that had horrible grades in all classes so it wasn't much of a surprise.
At least he's honest...
Wait i'm confused, how can you write a spelling test, don't you like spell it out loud? o.O
Before saying i'm stupid, remember English is my second language and i'm not from 'Murica ^^
When I was "passing" grades 3-9 we always had written spelling tests.

Over here; you first learn how to say it, then you learn how to write it.
