'arguments' I have with my husband about 'bring' and 'take.'
Peering out from beneath Harry Potter's legacy from his father.
bring the test to the classroom or take it to the classroom
Of course 'bring' and 'take' describe exactly the same action; it's only the point of view that changes. When viewed from the classroom, the professor brings the test, when viewed from the professor's office the professor takes the test.
Note: This is not to say that the professor takes the test in the same sense that the students take the test. I'm voting with anchita, too.

well, leave us not forget that once the professor gives the test to the student, who takes the test, when all is said and done the professor takes it back!

Possibly the confusion is that if the regular prof is away someone else can "take" the class ie take over teaching it temporarily but where I come from only students take tests.
