When you come out of an exam, do you go home & look up the answers?

I used to, when I was a teenager! Now I throw the notes & the books into the cupboard & try v.hard not to think about what I might have answered wrongly!

Do you discuss your answers with your friends/classmates & then panic when they mention something they wrote that you never heard of before??? I do!! We had to answer a question last week on 2 theories of depression & when I told me friend the 2 I wrote she panicked & said she thought the question asked for 2 types of depression... so then I wished we hadn't had that conversation!

What do you all do? And is it different from when you were a teen doing exams????

I did an exam in November and checked a couple of things from the sample paper I was given (they were very similar!)
I did better than I thought though I got 91%which gave me a distinction! (didn't get me a payrise though

You're lucky you got a sample paper!!

We did for the journo exam but by the time we came out I couldn't remember what any of my answers were!!!!!!!

I check the answers after I come out of an exam

Did this last week, so when we had the exam paper back I knew that one of my correct answers had been marked wrong.

Questioned my tutor and he agreed that the answer was correct and he had marked it wrong.

Gained me an extra 2%

No - never.

I don't get nervous either; I sit there for the reading time and think about my answers (which I've revised for of course) then do my best.

At the end, I've done my best - I couldn't have done any better and it is too late to influence anything by then so I just wait for the results.

Never unless I've failed it and I never discuss the paper with fellow students either.

Move onto the next paper and leave that one behind. Time to worry is when the marks come out....
