Why is it masculine?
Examen is masculine in Spanish because it derives from Latin "examen" (neuter in classical Latin, but often treated as masculine in Romance languages), which comes from the verb "exigere" meaning "to weigh" or "to examine"—the word originally referred to the needle of a balance scale. The masculine gender stuck through the evolution from Latin to Spanish, following the pattern of many Latin neuter nouns that became masculine in Spanish.
