on-the-spot examination / in-school examination / invigilated exam Explanation: I'm only guessing wildly, but could this be the time-honoured 'normal' form of exam with invigilators pacing the floor?? As opposed to group exams (soon to be abolished if Bertel Haarder gets his way) oral exams, distance exams and other procedures made possible or permitted these days? In connection with 'open university' courses, I have sat exams at home, where the questions were released at a specified time, to be downloaded by the candidates and delivered to a specified secure mail address at or before a specified time... These are called 7-dages' / 12-timers' / 24-timersprøver or the like. Or the project or 'speciale' type of exam, where a report, thesis or dissertation is handed in, then discussed or defended orally. Please ignore this answer if I'm way off - I'm a bit overstressed today! Deadlines, deadlines, nothing to do with "mere" academic exercises like exams :-D |

closed examination Explanation: This seems to be the commonest term in English (33,700 Google hits). See link below for one of numerous examples. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2006-05-30 15:21:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think "closed examination" is the commonest term and therefore that is what I would go for. I would expect such an examination to be at a specific place at a specific time and to have an invigilator. Reference: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~twcs1/Blogger/2003_07_01_phil-a... |
