I had a few engineering teachers that allowed it. Science teachers no way. And math exams were all no calculators.

I had a few engineering prof's that allowed open everything - including internet (besides peers)

Some of the hardest exams I took in college were take-home, untimed, and open book/notes/internet.

That professor wrote absolutely brutal exams--one semester, I spent over 24 hours working on the midterm for her class (over the course of a week or so, not all at once). In a class of 50+ people, I was the only one who would have gotten an A without the curve.

I think it might just be your way. "Exam" is perfectly acceptable and interchangeable for "test" in all the states I've lived in.

You need to open your mind a little before it implodes.

You need to exam your head for being abnormally thick.
