This hits home for me, because this semester I've been doing general psych online, and have allowed the test to be open book/notes for the online students only. Although I give them 10 extra minutes (60 compared to 50 in class), many students complain that it is not enough time. I think they are trying to look up too much. But the students who do best take only 25-40 minutes--I suspect they are not treating it as an open book test and are well prepared.
