After coming out of your exam hall, do you check your answers for correctness??

EXAM... I know most will have exam fear and some will love to attend them. Once the exam is over, and once we step out of the exam hall, how many of us really refer your text books and validate the answers you have written in your answer sheets?? Donno why.... I always throw my question paper once I'm out of the hall. I never revist my question paper. I just leave it to the result.... Right or wrong... I just look only at the score I get after few days. How about you???

Once i finish a exam, i often ask my friends what they put for certain answers which I was unsure about, just so that if I did get the question wrong I can learn from my mistakes, and try and improve it next time to get a higher score. I still do this if i get a A* just so that I learn from my mistakes rather than have the same probelem later in life. It's like a revision guide, if you buy one and don't use it, then they are of no use to use what so ever, yes you brough it but it's what you do with it, is what makes you better at that subject, so if you read through it then atleast you will learn something or recap something. I know it won't effect the score you got after doing the test, but it will change the future scores in which you get. It's like proof reading, I hate proof reading my courese work but I have to or i lose marks.

i used to do that back in the school because at that time i used to be sure that i nailed the paper; and it happened for each and every paper. but things are different at bachelors level. i just give the paper and forget about it and within our group of friends, discussion of the questions after the paper isn't welcomed it takes a wait of a couple of weeks before the result comes out, and atleast i dont feel the hurry to know or predict my score =P

In contrast to what most people do, I am the type of person who likes to check my answers for correctness after an exam paper. Many of my friends always tell me not to check for the answers because it will only make you feel more fearful in the case that you found out you have answered wrongly. But something inside me just sparks the curiosity to just check out the answers anyway; I guess it's because I tend to feel more "secured" if I know that I have answered the correct way or otherwise, allowing me to at least predict what type of results I might be getting. Haha, leaving the results to come on its own is too much of a lottery and gamble for me..... but good thing is that, I'm out of university now and I hopefully won't be needing to check my answers after exams anymore!

ya i too never recheck the answers , but i don't no about people who do so , after all nothing is going to change by rechecking the answers. instead it makes one more tensed for the next exam .

Once i finish an exam or test. I dont worry, I dont go an check my answers quickly.. what is the point? I cant change my answer and I dont want to think about the exam anymore, so I let it leave my head. I just wait for my results.
