[quote name='PeterJMelb' post='23224' date='Dec 20 2009, 11:04 AM']I think it all depends upon the definition of "surprise".
My definition is that a surprise (anything) is something one is not expecting.
So if a person is not expecting a test, it (test) can still be a surprise on Friday!

Not quite Peter, on Friday the test is no longer a surprise because there are no other days remaining in the week, so come Thursday and no "surprise" test has been given, a student can prepare for a test that is assured to be given on Friday and no longer a surprise.
