How were your undergrad exams?

Curious to see what people have to say -- back in undergrad, the majority of my economics professors liked to give brutally hard exams that usually ended up with the class having F's or D's (also heard this about the engineering classes having brutally low low grades too) for the class average and then they would obviously curve upward but the reason the class did so poorly was usually because they would test ALL the material. this was good in the fact if you studied one section a lot you were going to have to use it in the exam vs other exams where you may spend hours studying a topic but then have nothing on the exam for it. what was everyone elses test experience like, esp other econ kids?

Makes sense. Economics is generally among the 5 most difficult majors at any college.
