take-home exam

Off-campus testing assignment

A take-home exam is a test students complete outside the classroom, typically with more time than an in-class exam—often a day or a week.

The format usually allows open books and notes, with questions requiring deeper analysis than quick recall: The professor gave us a take-home exam due Monday.

The tradeoff for convenience is usually higher expectations.
