open book test

Reference-permitted assessment

An open book test is an exam where students may consult their textbooks, notes, or other materials while answering questions.

The format typically emphasizes understanding and application over memorization: The final was open book, but it was still brutal.

Sometimes used figuratively to describe any situation where help is readily available.
