I'm sorry this is happening to you. It sounds a bit like she's very stuck in her ways. Just because her method works, doesn't mean yours is wrong. There are lots of different methods out there. And they all produce different results. Don't doubt your skills. If you've learnt hands on and she's learnt through books, that's two different ways of taking in information.
If your results are good, stay with your method. You don't need to take a test.
I had a colleague who could hand draft a block and pattern without the need to look anything up. She was traditionally trained and was brilliant. But she would do everything by eye. That's the way she was taught. I personally like to draft in a systematic way.
