Ur answer is :-

If you are testing for rote memorization then it would have a benefit. As a high school English teacher I almost never give closed book assessments, but it might make sense in some other subject areas including math and science. The real problem is that too many assessments focus on the knowledge comprehension levels of understanding when we should focus on the higher levels of analysis, application, synthesis, and evaluation. Those higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy promote critical thinking and experiential learning.
The final reason many assessments are given closed book is high stakes standardized tests. Try explaining the above rationale to policy makers who vouch for standardized tests. They almost never reach the higher levels of Bloom's.
