written exam
Pencil and paper
A written exam is a test where answers are given in writing rather than orally or through demonstration.
The term distinguishes it from practical exams, oral exams, or multiple-choice tests that require only marking answers: The course grade is based on a written exam and a lab practical.
In some contexts, written exam specifically means essay-based rather than fill-in-the-blank.
