  in the 1st place, closed-book exams serve no purpose. mugging is a must for efficiecy during exam conditions with no time to think at leisure. especially when 1 question can cost 15%, is non-structured and involves more than 10 un-guided steps. the 1st wrong step in wrong direction snowballs into disaster, with time wasted in vain. they should be banned

  everyone needs a dictionary..
  
  once i read chicken soup for the college soul..got one story about one editor who always scold his reporters for not checking up dictionary...no matter how good one is, he isnt perfect, and cannot assume he is that good..so checking up dictionary is a must for everyone...
