Oh, heavens - WRITE!
When I got my MBA, we didn't have to do a Thesis (as in big, long piece of research). We had to study three business cases a week for fifteen weeks, had to write a small paper- ten or so typed pages on two of them- and be prepared to discuss the third. After awhile, it became easier and easier, almost to the point that I loved it. I said, "almost". ;- )

I like studying better.
I find it so difficult to make the papers. To think of a topic, make the questions and I really hate to do interviews and talk to strangers.
I also have dyslexia and they are very strict about spelling because it has to look professional, but I just don't notice my spelling mistakes and I don't like to ask friends and family everytime to check. With papers it's even worse because they usually have 30 pages.
I prefer to study for an exam. I had to write a few essays and they were a pain in the ass
I would study for an exam but what happens if it makes you sleepy then you may fall asleep also write papers will keep you awake, One night I told myself I would stay awake to watch a WWE event on Peacock Channel but I ended up falling asleep
for at least 2 hours

Study for exams. The reason is that exams are often multiple choice and scored by a computer program so there is no bias.
A written paper is scored by a person and they often have bias in my experience.Well, once you get into grad school, you really don't have a choice but to just write papers. You get used to the APA format and it begins to feel a bit odd in not having to add references to anything you write. Studying for exams is just practicing for math and reading for everything else, and getting pissed for either leaving something out or doing something stupid like forgetting to carry over the negative sign.
I'd rather write a paper. Not only because I feel that gives me much more control when it comes to the result but also because I feel doing so guarantees a higher level of learning. At the very least what you write you read and studied.
I love writing in general. Despite my terrible typos I was rated in the he top 2% of students for writing and comprehensive reading in the state of Delaware for SAT scores... my math was in the lower half though 😂
I am writing papers now and I actually prefer it. I like having clear objectives to work on and complete within a set time before a deadline that I have figured out. Studying for exams is much more a looming chore.
When I was your age I was still taking tests toward my bachelor's, while studying for my next rank in the Coast Guard, PLUS still performing my duties, AND keeping my wife as satisfied as I could under the circumstances.
Writing, especially if it’s creative. Even if it’s research, I’d still prefer writing over studying for exams.
Study for exams.
Writing papers restrict you to a particular subject and topic but studying gives you a broader scope to learn and I love learning.Since I was always the type that didn't study for exams, I'd probably choose study since that means I probably wouldn't do either lol
I like writing papers better but I usually ace exams (except in law school where I really had to study)
Write papers. Exams scare me a lot more than it should.
Write a paper. I used to suck at them, but I think I would be much better at writing them now.
I am studying for an exam, and it sucks. I'd rather write a paper
I’m pretty natural at writing so I rather write than study
I used to hate taking exams so I will go with writing papers.
Both, i like to rwrite so i study from what i wrote. If i have a book like 200 pages i can write it down to 20:40 so i study from em after that.
I’d rather study. I know I can memorize things and get a good grade. I don’t want to leave it up to someone’s opinion of what I wrote
I hate papers but anything with the word exam traumatizes me so id write
Rather write papers... I always leave study to the last minute and was rubbish at exams
