difference between open and closed book examination?

Answer 1

Open you are allowed to bring your text with you. Closed you are left to your own abilities.

Answer 2

Coming from a college student/and soon to be teacher:
In my experience, the open book is harder because A: I didn't study so I must look up EVERY answer almost or B: I still look up every answer to second guess myself. However, I find that if the teacher gives a few minutes to check with the book or notes I learn more because I look for those few questions that just don't come to me and then they stick in my head for some reason. Allowing notes and not books is also good because the students will learn a lot when copying down information into their notes.

Closed book is good because it insures that everyone should be studying and gets what the students know without help....but then again their are those few that they know but just won't get off the tip of their tongue

Answer 3

My answer is, a real christian parent, encourages their child to learn about all religions. So your NOT A PARENT OR A CHRISTIAN. You are a phony. At 16 no one gets converted, if their raised right. unless they are like you they are without any faith. You don't know what it takes to be a real christian or Buddhist. You assume it's like changing schools, just fill in some forms and get a bus pass. . You should lie harder. This is not a question, it's a troll fishing trip. Sorry but I speak from experience. I was allowed as a grade school kid to visit Buddhist temples and any other religious anything,I wanted to attend. I attend services at different protestant churches, and even went to non-catholic sunday school classes. I joined protestant youth organizations. Why was I was allowed ? Because understanding other faiths, helps you understand your own faith. Guess what, I'm still catholic. The silly thing you wrote about "not talking science". Was dumb. Is Buddhism a science based religion ? The extra bonus dumb line was mixing up what Jesus and Buddha said. Read some of their stuff and you'll see how different it is worded. Everyone knows they were from two very different cultures. So there is very little that is the same, about them. Shame on your silly simple self.

Answer 4

Open book examination is when a student is allowed to have a reference material with him/her while taking the examinations. Tests that require lengthy formula are usually open book examinations.

Closed book examination is when a student is not allowed to open a book or have a reference materials opened while taking examinations, tests like objective type are usually closed book.

Answer 5

An open book exam is an exam in which the professor permits students to use their textbook to find their answers for the test. It can be taken in the classroom or at home, generally.

A closed book exam is an exam where the student must rely upon the mental retention of information in order to answer the questions on the exam. Although use of the textbook is not permitted, a professor may opt to allow students to use handwritten notes for the exam. Obviously, closed book exams are usually taken in the classroom, or supervised by a proctor in a library or test-taking center.

Students generally agree that an open book exam is more difficult.

Answer 6

In closed book examination you have to rely on your memory and intelligence. In an open book examination, you can look at your book/ texts. All you have to do is just hope you have the right information written down (good time to curse yourself for not paying attention during class)

Answer 7

Open book means you can use all the text books and notes that you want. Closed book means you have to rely on your memory, in some case you are allowed to use reference books specified by the teacher, but nothing else.

The material in closed book tests is a bit harder because you don't have to memorize anything, you can always look stuff up. Even though they are harder I prefer open book tests because I'm not anxios that I'll forget something important.

Answer 8

obviously both tests measure your understanding towards particular topics of the subjects undertaking. however, i've had a number of experiences sitting for the open ones and it's harder than the closed ones.

type of questions asked in the closed ones are rather specific while the ones on the open ones are a bit general/broad and normally (from what i'd experienced) you have to deduce from what you learned and from your note-taking on what the questions want. course books at that point, would be only a guidance, not a depth-in information.

in my case, i wasn't allowed to bring any bulky books but i could bring as much as the written notes and though the notes helped a little bit towards the answering but at the end of the day,both really rely on your level of understanding on the questions asked.
