What a wimp! People like Mark Twain wrote entire books using only pen and paper. And you're complaining about a little exam? Get real.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness, my finals this previous semester were HORRIBLE! Every test was written.. Imagine, NO multiple choice, matching, nothing! Just long & short essays... Needless to say, my most difficult exams fell on the same day... Two of them & it totaled out approximately 5 hours between both of them. I wrote 19 pages on one exam! My hand was cramping so bad I thought I had arthritis! lol.
