I never understood the concept of open-book tests. That's not a test of knowing the material, it's a test of reading and using an index. I remember getting 98.6% on an open-book test in Biology back in high school, and one of my classmates asking "How is that possible?" My response: "We had the answers right in front of us! How did I even get one wrong??" (The funny thing is, I actually forced myself to do the majority of the test without opening the book, because 15-year-old me was even more morally opposed to open-book tests than the current 23-year-old me is.)
