Not during class. Most likely a proctored exam. No laptops, no phones, teacher or proctor watching.

Only if you memorize it. In which case, why not just memorize the test material?

Sounds like effort, I’m making a font out of my handwriting and getting a 3d printer to write it

Obviously that is the next step for the technically inclined, but even the less inclined may be capable of generating them copying to save time and brain effort.
