> i wont claim to be a serious badass AP Physics C without a calculator qualifies you! Some of the most fun teachers had open-book open-note any-calculator tests for various technical subjects, but the questions were carefully designed so that if you stopped to rifle through a book or notes or pull out the calculator, you would run out of time. Everything was set up to be symbolically done faster if you knew your stuff. In addition many students hearing open-book open-note simply don't bother to study and thus blow the test that way despite having too many resources available to distract them during the test.
