Then it just becomes a memory test. A good memory is great to have but it doesn’t necessarily translate into the best problem solving skills.

I have a dogshit memory and paper exams were largely me extrapolating from fundamentals in the sciences or having to present clear lines of thinking and reasonable interpretations in the humanities

You’ve never had to reason in a test? Problem solve in a test? Design in a test? Sure, some tests are memory tests, but plenty aren’t

Depending on the subject, it may have to be a memory test regardless. Some subjects are mostly memorization.
