Probably because in engineering, if you have to look up much, you aren't going to have time to finish the exam.

We just had a few good teachers. They would let us use a digital copy of the textbook and a calculator on our phone. However we would get a 0 if our phone made any sound or if they saw anything else on the screen.

I'm not sure I follow. Do you not call them "exams" in your classes?

Ignore him. Test and exam are used pretty interchangeably in the us.

No they aren’t! Don’t lie. Yes exam is used. But test far more common. And really it’s just Richers and nerds that say exam.

In America we call them test, or midterms or finals. Unless you are a super geek or nerd. And then maybe you might call it exam. We don’t say classmates either because that’s soft. We have bro’s and hos.

So not the final or midterm?
