Professor: "The test will be easy."

The test: Find the integral of square root of cosine x from 0 to 1 EXACTLY.

That's like saying "This swimming pool is shallow" and then dropping you into the Mariana Trench. This integral is the mathematical equivalent of trying to fold a fitted sheet—theoretically possible but will leave you questioning your life choices. No standard substitution works here. You'll need special functions, possibly a sacrifice to the math gods, and therapy afterward. Even Wolfram Alpha is silently judging you for attempting this.
