    What do think about people analyzing each exam after they finish it? Personally I hate talking about them. I just want to wait and see the result cos half the time I dont have a clue what way its gonna turn out. What do you guys think?

    Do you like post-mortems on exams? 22 votes

    Yup, I love to work out how well I got on.

    I hate digressing over them. I remain happy in the knowledge that the question is right until the examiner lays that pen on the paper.
    Example: Geography-impact of folding and faulting I wrote about the formation of the mariana trench and the mid athlantic ridge.

    I like carrying out a post mortem of certain subjects and hate doing it with others, it just depends, I love going over maths exams and physics exams but hate going over things like english and french, too much a bring down!

    They will have to give some marks for at least attempting:)
    I really hated that Geog paper.
    I didnt explain erosion and deposition in realation to the waterfall question, so they are bound to hammer me for that.

    I don't really do post mortems myself, but it doesn't bother me when other people ask for answers/opinions. Mostly though I only enjoy going over answers in maths, because at least then there's right/wrong unlike the gray area in other subjects...

    I like em. I like having a general idea of how I got on. For example, in Maths I essentially know to a fairly precise degree what I'm gonna get.

    I stick by the oft used cliché in football "Im only think about the next match" and apply it to my exams "Im only thinking about the next exam"

    Only if I've done well in them. There's no point dwelling on exams you did **** on.
