In fact open book exams are not easy.
Open book exams teach you how to find information when you need it that is the main goal of BITS Pilani conducting open book examination.
Open book exams are more difficult than traditional closed book exams because the questions illicit higher order thinking and the answer to the question will not appear in a single paragraph in your text--or even on a single page.
WASE Comprehensive Exam (Open Book) consists of 60% weightage with 3 hours duration. As comprehensive exam weightage is more than closed book keep few things in mind before preparing for the exam.
