Programming tests on pencil & paper?

How hard is it to cut off access to the Internet in a computer lab and give programming tests with a text editor and compiler? Do most universities administer tests on programming on paper, or does my school (a state university) just suck? I would have been done with that test today way faster if I had access to cutting and copying and shit, not to mention who writes a program and doesn't even compile it?

All universities that I know of do. Mine did. It sucked because I write programs from left to right as much as I do from top to bottom, i.e. I write every block and its ending, then tab into it and fill it inside. I had to do a few ugly things like insert lines after writing something, but it's not the worst thing ever anyways. If you're good enough you can do it.

Think about it, it could be much worse. You could be writing Java.
