Likely a Dynamics or Physics exam.
Too old to remember.

Cobalt. You youngsters wouldn't know about this waste of time.

International Finance. It was brutal

I had an Econ class. Don’t remember exact number but it was in the 2000s (maybe 2035) I made a 34% in the class for the year and pulled a solid C. The highest grade in the class for the year was a 55%. Old man was an arse. Nobody knew what was going on and he would start at the beginning of the row and ask questions to everybody on the row.

LOL if y’all college boys think yalls little gender studies final is hard you should try taking a weld test

I remember getting railed by an Okiel Reinforced Concrete final.
Dude threw us every curveball conceivable. (The class wasn't that bad though)

Some 4000+ level math class writing proofs. Took it because I had made an A in almost every math class I had ever taken and it counted as an engineering technical elective. Huge mistake on my part. One exam I just drew pictures of Godzilla attacking a city because I had no clue what was going on. Teacher gave me partial credit and laughed at the picture. Ended up with a C in the class and have no clue how that teacher found a way to set the curve that extreme.

Many in the EE program at LSU back in the day would have told you it was Aravena's linear circuit class, but for test grades I'd give it to Dr. Ho's electronics lecture.
I had a good understanding of the material, and on the first test I scored 6 out of 100. With the curve that was a C.
After that, I caught on to his testing style and started scoring at least in the high 30s on the remainder of his tests, and with the curve those were As.

Physical chemistry-second semester (quantum mechanics} ….Close second Linear algebra
Posted on 5/2/19 at 7:53 am to Ghost of Huey P
Hard to say because it has been a long time back.
Freshman year physics I class, the prof said "We have 4 sections of this class and only 3 sections of physics II next semester. 30% of you will fail the course" and then he proved it. We were allowed to bring one sheet of equations to the tests to "cheat" off of. They did no good at all.
Quantum Mechanics was Scary as hell, every test.
Coaching Baseball (elective - one summer) was by far the easiest course for me. MSU Baseball Coach Ron Polk was the instructor. Sadly, it was full of football players, who struggled mightily to get their A's.

Intermediate Accounting II final. It was a comprehensive final over 24 chapters
Posted on 5/2/19 at 7:59 am to Ghost of Huey P
Definitely the departmental accounting test I took on a computer and my instructor didn’t cover any of the shite that was on it

Not a "baw", but I'm going to answer anyway. Organic Chem, and Physics II was a close second. But I got A's in both. (4.0 GPA).
I know your type- the student who dreads the test and says how hard it was, yet make an A.
Meanwhile those of us who truly know how hard it was make our C's and D's.
Posted on 5/2/19 at 9:18 am to Ghost of Huey P
Anything that was math related

LOL. GPA doesn't matter much unless you're going to grad school.
I had to put my studies on hold to pursue my current career. I'm only 40 credits short of my degree in marine biology. When I retire from what I'm doing, I will go back and finish.

History of the world since 1960. Baw briefed for the pentagon during Vietnam and his classes were an hour and 30 minutes of him just rattling off stories...no notes on the board or anything. It was awesome until you got to the blue book mid-term and final and had to be able to rattle off every name, detail, date, and TIME!

The Damages exam I’m about to take tomorrow and the Products Liability exam I have to take Monday.

better plan on law school or an mba after that, unless you're looking for the poverty level salaries that that degree will bring, in which case, you're good

Intermediate Organic Chem.
Test questions were mostly pulled from cutting edge journals and you were given credit on providing an incorrect answer to the problem if you correctly applied what you were expected to know.
Aka there was no reasonable expectation to getting the actual correct answer.
A passing grade curved down all the way to ~40%
I got a 35 on my three-hour Organic final.
Out of 300.
Literally had nightmares years later.
