An examination book, or exam book, or blue book is a notebook used by students of many post-secondary schools in the United States to write essays[1] and answer multiple short-answer questions when their assessment tests are administered. The books commonly have blue cover and are titled "Blue book", although books called simply "Examination book" can be found as well.
