Open minded vs open book..!

LOL. Open-book exams are not thrilling. I like the typical ones, the closed book type that you referred to, because it's more challenging and it just makes me feel good knowing that all those answers came out of my own efforts. I remember when we had open-book exams a few times in high school, I felt quite guilty, though, that was the type of exam that my classmates loved very much. Hahaha.

In China, open-book exam is much easier than close-book exam. and open-book exam always means you can pass it easily, coz you can find most answers in the book and all you need to do is to copy it. so if the teacher says the final exam is open-book exam, we will all cheer up. it means even you skip all the class, you can still pass it in the end. i hate close-book exam, coz i have to recite the book, at least have to recite the key part of the book or notes. it's really troublesome.
