I've got a Heat Transfer test in 50 minutes. I've studied for about a half hour, and got really bored. So here I am.
I studied less than an hour for each of the previous tests, and got A's on both of them. Such is the beauty of open-book, open-notes tests. That, and about 60mg of caffeine, and I'm set to go.
I
have had some open-book, open-notes tests in the past that truly did require some considerable preparation. Gear and chain design tests would be utterly impossible if you didn't have the procedure written down, right down to the page numbers. Gear design especially, that required going to at least 10 different pages to get numbers from various charts and graphs. If you didn't know exactly which page to go to, and the exact order in which to get everything, there'd be no way to finish the test in time - and that class' tests were given during the 2hr lab period.
