Yes this thread is slow we were waiting for all of you to come back and post

Tine! Good to see you around here
There are some survivors here and there that come back from time to time but the 'old' people have pretty much all left

True. You only learn from your mistakes.

It just strikes me that the exam is over, and whatever I could have or couldn't have done with my time...it's not possible to change it anymore.
Well, I have exactly the same way of seeing things. When I'm in full exam period, because I usually have one exam a day, I'm all "this one is done, next!" and I don't think about the mark much until I get the results.

It only gets bad when I have the time to think. Like right now. I spent the last two days re-reading Hard Times again and all I have in my head is that the characters are stupid and that I absolutely hate Dickens. I have the feeling it's not going to help me

But I guess most of us have the same reaction when it comes to exams, with more or less stress.

Anyway as Cris said once it's done there's nothing else you can do besides during the exams one lose something like 30% of their capacity so it's normal not to be at the top
Yes, I changed. I am now studying English (LLCE comme ont dit). It's really easy compared to real estate law!
I didn't know we lost capacity during exams! Always nice to learn something new. All I knew so far is that I lost sleep
