What is an Open Book Exam?

Open book exams are increasingly common across UK universities, especially in subjects requiring critical thinking and applied knowledge. Unlike closed book assessments, these allow you to consult textbooks, notes, and other resources. However, success relies on preparation, analysis, and time management rather than memorisation.

Key Characteristics of Open Book Exams

  • Access to textbooks, notes, and approved digital resources
  • Emphasis on applying concepts and analysing scenarios
  • Questions designed for higher-order thinking, not recall
  • Strict time limits and academic integrity requirements

Benefits of Open Book Exams

The Open Book Exam Difference: Real-World Skills for Academic and Career Success

Open book exams are designed not just to test what you remember, but how you think and solve problems. Unlike traditional exams that rely heavily on memorisation, open book assessments mirror real-world scenarios where you must find, interpret, and apply information under time constraints—just as you would in a professional setting.

How Open Book Exams Build Transferable Skills

These exams nurture abilities that UK employers and graduate schools value.

  • Critical thinking: Evaluating sources, evidence, and arguments rapidly
  • Research agility: Locating and using information efficiently
  • Time management: Making decisions under pressure and meeting deadlines
  • Written communication: Presenting clear, well-supported responses

Common Open Book Exam Mistakes to Avoid

Our expert tutors help you sidestep the most frequent pitfalls:

  • Over-reliance on notes: Reading instead of answering wastes precious time
  • Disorganised resources: Losing track of key information during the exam
  • Ignoring the question: Failing to tailor responses to what’s actually being asked
  • Weak referencing: Inadequate or incorrect citation can lose you marks
