That should be the only test that you shouldn't have the periodic table for. Beyond that, you need the table to get the molar masses and atomic numbers, and to know the charges as well.
oO I was never asked that in France (at least in high school. In prep school for engineering class we had weekly oral exams, and the first time a teacher aked us to write down the 3 first rows. Looked him dead in the eyes, told him I didnt know them, and quite frankly I didnt see the point seeing as I had them in my calculator (I had a programm with the periodic table, with all the masses, charges, even electron configuration).
Teacher said 'ok' and proceeded to ask a different question.
