I've done one or two over the years and they can still be tricky. Even with a book in front of you, you still need to be smart enough to apply the knowledge to a situation. Like you say there's nothing to lose so smash it

 

Totally agree... I do like open book exams for the following reasons:

1. You can't brain dump an open book exam (or should I say, i haven't heard of cases involving that) and
2. In IT, say remembering stuff is all part of course, but more often than not, you are searching for the answers

Yeah – many years ago I did a C++ exam that was open book. Don’t think because its open book it will be easy as you still need to answer questions but have resources in front of you to use.
