Hi all. finished the first two papers from my final degrees in physics. Paper 1 was fine but paper 2 was just horrible . I attempted 3/4 q's not all greatly, My question is: Has anyone else here left an exam feeling rotten about what they answered and after a few results showed you didnt too badly after all.

Lots of people.

Also, lots of people walk away thinking they did badly and discovered that they actually did do badly. You can't tell until you have the test back.
 
I think the real biter is when you know what you were doing, but you realize you didn't write it on paper...lol
