is it just me or multiple choice has gotten more difficult.
like it involves the correct spelling and notations.
also, i have seen it try to play with your mind abit.
i remember when multiple choice used to be easy

I think open book exams are fairly stupid. THey are ridiculously tedious and repetitive, and if you're not prepared, the book's not going to help you anyways. Cheat-sheet exams are pretty much the same thing. Except for anything mathematical. Sometimes I just can't remember 20 formulas for integration.

An open book exam doesnt really help that much, it just makes it more difficult. Instead of writting an essay you spend all the time looking for quotes that you could otherwise have just summarized in your own words.
I can't stand them.

Open book tests are sometimes way harder, and you can fail them!
Especially if you go in to write the exam somewhat unprepared and you think that it's fine b/c you'll have an open book, but looking for the answers takes a lot of time and you can a) not be able to finish the exam b) not find all the answers.

Open book exams are not useful unless you have unlimited time to complete them.
With a time limit - you need to know your stuff, regardless of having the book there or not.

I'd like to see how many of those who say open-book exams are easy are actually doing math or science at the university level.
For engineering the key is as follows:
Open Book = Death.
Cheat Sheet = Death.
Closed Book = Death.
