In-class exams are a standard assessment method in both Brazilian and American education systems. In Brazil, they are typically called 'provas' and are formal evaluations that contribute significantly to students' final grades. In the United States, in-class exams are commonly distinguished from take-home exams and online assessments, especially in higher education. The term reflects the traditional academic practice of proctored, supervised testing environments.
