Some students are talking about open-book exam:

May: We students have so many burdens (负担) . Maybe examination is the greatest one. Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter, I think. At least it means that we need not learn so many things by he art any more.

Hill: Open-book exams does not mean students do not need textbooks any more. Instead, it shows how much students really understand about the book. It may mean we need spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book exam means going deeply into the textbooks.

Sun: We need a long time learning for history and politics exams because there are so many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good, even if we have spent a long time studying. If we are able to take books into our exams, we will save time and we won’t have so many headaches.

Tang (teacher): Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do not need to understand the textbooks any longer. They rely on (依靠) the books and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams. Sometimes they might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much looking for answers.
