Any instructor who gives a take-home exam with a honor code time limit is an idiot.

We have take home reviews (tests) with an honor code time limit here (Davidson College) and I'd say &gt;90% follow the time limit.

We also have self-scheduled exams with no proctor and I'd say &lt;1% cheat.

there was a thread about longest time spent on an exam a while ago (started by JA Sucker?). Most responses were &gt; 24hrs, though i imagine that was a fairly self-selective sample.

Nobody but yourself can track the time you use.

Talking to someone else is bad- this is the kind of thing that gets you ratted out.

Another interesting situation is if you would use reference material (looking up formulas, etc.) when the professor says that you cannot. I'm guessing that people who would take more time would use reference if necessary, I classify them as generally the same thing.
