Furthermore, if you take the "information content" approach to surprise, then you would be more surprised by a test on Monday than by a test on Thursday; but this is made up for by the fact that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, you were very slightly surprised that there wasn't a test. Total surprise is conserved.
