Yeah I can confirm. In a good test for many classes (especially math, science, and engineering) all the open notes and textbooks won’t save you if you aren’t prepared. I had a 3 day take home test in one of my engineering classes where all resources except each other were permitted and despite preparing, I, like many of my classmates, was scribbling in it in the hallway to turn it in. Fucking brutal exam.
