> a 60 question test with 50 minutes of allotted time Is this kind of test - many short questions - a standard thing for math in your country? My university exams were pretty much all "2-question", in 90 minutes. The first half was an essay where you have to reproduce a lesson from the curriculum, in your own words. The second half was "the formulas" - you have to develop one or two formulas from first principles. I once got an A- even though I got "the formulas" half very wrong. As the teacher explained later, I simply chose the coordinate system beginning at not the same place the textbook did. And this was supposed to be a bad teacher - he actually gave Ds to almost all of us (180 people). This was a makeup exam.
