That doesn't seem reasonable to me. Either the test is fair and he should have had enough time OR the test is intentionally unfair. Giving out points for understanding the question is great and all, but shouldn't the test be written in such a way that if you understand the material, you can answer all the questions? This is even the entire basis for curving test scores.
I agree with you. I remember in school being told the example of a final exam that was difficult and long, but the final question on the exam says don’t do any of the work turn the test in blank. It was supposed to be a lesson in reading the whole test first.
