(In colloquial Finnish, the pronoun it is used for both people and things, so a Finnish-speaking professor would have had to explicitly say "books" or "things but not people". I love this aspect of Finnish. It is also a huge opportunity for dad jokes.)
Many people even with the textbook wouldn't pass a physics exam. Other matters are different, history for example, you don't have to understand a thing only memorize. But physics... if you don't understand it there's no way.

Someone has to make this into a real program. Preferably with real voice.
Same thing to me. My signal processing theory professor was asked by some students what they could bring with them at the exams. His answer: Anything that you can drag in by yourself. 70% failed.
It may be a myth, but didn't a student bring Richard Feynman into one of his exams, because he fit (stood) on a single sheet of A4 paper? (You can bring anything in that fits on a single sheet of A4.)
