I think there are few things better than the relief after taking an exam. You dread it and hope that you have prepared enough. Then its over in a matter of hours. Therefore, you feel a great amount of relief when they are completed. Until of course the worry sets in as you await your grade. To those who have taken exams recently, did you feel like a huge weight had been taken off of your shoulders when they are completed? Looking forward to reading your responses.

yes, i always feel relieved after exams. especially after one of the major exams that i've experienced in life which is nursing licensure exam. whew. it was so relaxing after the exam since you don't need to read more. it is just the anxiety that prevails after exams....

I have taken a lot of exams, from primary school to university. I don't absolutely agree with you. I think the best thing isn't the relief after taking exams, but the relief after the appearance of the grade. Always I was more anxious after exam than before it.

Yes, the grades are the real relief. Even if I do have small amounts of relief when I done. Still once I have passed the class, then I can truly rest easily. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

yeah exams can be quite such a burden you prepare for days and it the actual thing lasts for only a couple of hours well the hard part is waiting for the results there's the relief after exams i'll give you that but does your preparation is enough to actually pass it the actual relief only starts when you pass the exam.

Yes, some relief comes when they are done. More relief comes when you have found out that you have passed. Still, at least they are done and that counts for something. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes indeed. It is truly a huge weight off your shoulders. Its something that you prepare for and when it's done, you don't have to study for that particular exam anymore. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

It is a great relief when the exam is over. Before that, you might be always worried about it and would have to work hard to get preparations for it. Once it is done, you will enjoy totally a different mood that is relaxing to you. Anyway, I wish you to get good grades in whatever exams. Good luck with you, megamatt.

Yes, all of the work for a few hours. It might seem a bit absurd but it is rather necessary to get the good grades. I am confident that I'll get a grade that I find acceptable. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, there is almost nothing that is comparable to the feeling of walking out that classroom after finishing your final exam and knowing you don't have to stress about studying anymore. Of course, finding out what grads you get and that you pass all your classes is also a good feeling but it's nothing like skipping out of that classroom knowing you don't have to go to that class anymore.

I have final exams this week but I am not too worried. Exams for me have been to design websites. There is only have more class for Thursday, and my project for this one is already done. For grades, I am a little worried about what it will be from one class, but I think I will pass the other classes.

I wish you the best of luck for your final grades. I find myself having worries even if it is obvious that I pass. Of course, for me, I think that helps me work harder and get good grades, so it obvious works. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, there is a certain amount of dread a bit after I am done. I'm done but how did I do? Even if I am confident, confidence can be misplaced and I might not have done as well as you thought. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, I think any time off might very well be the best part. You have plenty of time to recharge before deciding what to do next. Well maybe only a few weeks sometimes but any downtime is appreciated. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I always take exams, almost every week. And next week would be our first long exam. I can really feel the relief after the exams.
