Literally the Internet, your book, your notes, your study materials are available to you.

Here's an open test

Explain exactly what a mathematical sheaf is

not all tests are about regurgitating facts you find online. Some things require actual understanding

If your notes suck, then your notes suck.

If they let you have an open text book...yeah, not sure how you'd mess that up.

They make open tests much harder for a reason

One of my college professors told us the last thing we ever wanted from him was an open-book test, and that he basically used them as punishment. I gathered from that that he intentionally made his open-book tests WAY harder than a regular test.

If it's timed, you can still understand the material and just not be fast enough at it.

Open tests are designed to be extremely difficult and require a solid command of the material. Basically, exploring concepts versus remembering facts.

As mentioned, not embarrassing at all, because any proper open test is designed to be ridiculously difficult with a harsh time limit imposed on it.

They're made so that to even have a smidgen of a hope of getting 100%, you have to have studied enough to get at least 80+% even if you had to take the same test without any textbooks or notes. The 'openness' is just so they have an excuse to put the most obscure minutiae as questions so you get to look up your notes regarding those. If you're searching your textbook to look up and copy even the basic stuff, well, game over for you, enjoy failing the test because you're never going to have enough time to fill up enough answers for 30%.

Apparently TC has never taken an open test in his life, or has taken only worthless, horrible ones.

Not need for the hostility.

Open book tests are typically about understanding concepts, not rote memorization

Yea, and students that care, really suffer then. You can study so much and once you get to the exam you know it or not.

On an open book test, especially if it is take home, you can sit and agonize over it make sure every detail is perfect for that 100%
