Yes, if these exams were part of training, you must be paid for it.

Your employer is required to pay you for all mandatory training and meetings.

Optional meetings are different, but the do have to pay you if it's mandatory.

If you're having trouble at work you should think about unionizing. It's a way better option than quitting your job, and you wouldn't have to put up with that kind of stuff anymore.
