My experience as a professor and a student is that this doesn't make any difference.

Exactly the point of his test methodology.

What he asked of students on a test was to *apply* knowledge and information to *unique* problems and create a solution that did not exist in any book.

I only brought 4 things to his tests --- textbook, pencil, calculator and a capable, motivated and determined brain. And his tests revealed the limits of what you could achieve with these items.
