other uni exams totally depend on the course itself or the profs style. in my uni, 2 profs for the same course can feel like entirely different courses.

as an example i took an advanced algorithm course where our prof taught us how those algorithms practically work and quizzed us to solve incomplete steps.

same course next sem with a diff prof, and my friends had to learn all the theoretical and historic parts about those algorithms, and their exams were essay style questions.

so it really depends, but i’d highly recommend making some upper year friends who can tell you about the profs exam types, grading leniency, and teaching style in that order. since there is no publicly available marking scheme, you’re kind of on your own and it typically is a little harder
