Post Exam Anxiety: How Often Do You Have it?

[Hyperspace2]

How often do you have post exam anxiety?

I have most often. After I give my exam , i keep on guessing the marks that i will score.
If the guess oscillates around pass marks, then it makes me more anxious and that harms other exam I give.

Hyper,

I hope you did well on your exam, in the end, what does worry accomplish ?

Maybe seeing a councelor or a therapist would do you some good. I'm not saying that you need it, but perhaps you do.

I think you mean "affective". I'd like to have an effective disorder - I bet it would be helpful.

Lisa,

That's what I meant, typo, sorry... No flies on any of the crowd that hang here, that's for sure, I will go back and edit it as well.

I tend to worry a little obsessively about tests after I take them too. Thinking about questions I might have or know I did answer wrong, or realizing correct answers where I put something else or nothing. Fortunately it goes away after I get the exam back, so it's only a few days. Then there's the pre test anxiety... oh well.

I forget everything about the exam once I finish my exam

The other day I turned in an exam and just as I was sitting it on my professors desk I realized that I did not re-substitute back in for u on an integral but it was too late to take it back!

It drove me absolutely crazy for for 3 straight days until I got the grade for it and he only took off one point for the error.

perhaps I need that .

It's my problem from high school.

my other problems are I make many minor errors. Can you imagine, in a math test I made minor calculation error that worth me 32 marks.

Hyper,

No I didn't. I am writing right after my 3rd exam out of my 7 exams ( engineering exams)

in the end, what does worry accomplish ?

I try to fill myself with same idea, but the at the end I go with my habit of anxiety.

This well-known short prayer comes to mind:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."

Religion aside, I think the sentiment is relevant. It's a nice word, serene. :)
