Why lookie here, the AP exams this year are open book/note. I'll be damned.
Hmmm ... years ago I started making ALL of my (college) classes' quizzes, exams, etc. open book/open note/open everything, basically. The reason? I could ask MUCH better questions that would actually measure how much students understood the material (as opposed to how well they could memorize arcane details and spit them back at me in a timed, in-class test).
Of course that doesn't really work for standardized tests, alas.
Many of my professors gave open book/open notes/open everything but neighbor tests when I was in college in the 70s. As a student I found them harder yet at the same time fairer and more thorough. Harder because the professor could actually ask a question that made you think rather than regurgitate. Fairer because it measured your thinking skills and not your skill at trivial pursuit. And more thorough because they could ask questions that required to you to in depth to figure out the answer.
In the end the open book tests did a much better job of measuring the knowledge and skills I would actually use during my career.
