I have recently began wondering the purpose of demonstrating every kata one knows at testing. Is there a purpose to this? Is that nay better than doing just the form you learned for that specific belt? It's something I've done just because, and never really looked deeper into the purpose.
For me personally, I make my students responsible for knowing all their forms so they still spend time practicing them and so they can help teach the lower ranks. Also so they can see their progression over the years doing the basic forms. Other than that , besides using the forms as training tools themselves, I have trouble thinking of what else would be the purpose of doing this.
