I'm looking for a word used to describe an "exam essay", so that when I say this word, others will know I'm referring to an essay/article written according to the rules of an examination. Is there a word has this meaning?
Also, I want to know is "exam essay" a common phrase to show this meaning?
Exam essay has the exact meaning you are looking for and is a common expression
I wrote an exam essay as practice for my class on How To Take Tests And Win
Exam essays are usually written while taking a written exam or an essay exam
In my academic history (high school, college and postgrad work in the U.S.) I had many "essay tests."
I would have understood the term exam essay to be an essay written during an exam, but I have never used that term myself. I would have referred to such a work product as "as essay I wrote for an exam."
The essay test would be an exam comprised solely of essay questions - those requiring a short essay for answers.
N-Grams registers both "exam essay" and "essay test."
