I might be a little overconfident here, but I think I did reasonably well on my exam (I hope I’m not jinxing myself!). Not knock-one-out-of-the-park well, but well. It helped that the teacher took some of the questions directly from some of the online study materials I used to prepare. I did not do as well on the essay part, but we had an excess of time and that helped me go back and revise/refine as much as I could. My problem there was just terminology recall (bad medicated brain!!!), but I think many of my classmates had a similar issue. Closed book sucks! My favorite part was the very open-ended policy question (1/4 of our grade!). I think I wrote a convincing argument for an issue my professor is passionate about so hopefully that will help a bit. You should have seen the looks on everyone’s faces when he handed out this exam. His past exams have been majority if not completely multiple choice. Many of my classmates just packed up and left when the exam period was only half over.
