Each time i do an exam, i finish with heaps of time to spare, like 30-40 min. Is anyone else in this situation or am i going to fast? and how long is it taking people to finish exams?

same the easy ones I don't bother rechecking because I just can't be bothered and generally finish with about 40 minutes to spare but the hard ones it feels like time just flies!

I've been finishing on the hour for most practice exams, although it took me an extra half and hour longer than normal under pressure for phsyics today so who knows.

With chem it seems that I often finish SA in an hour without checking them. I then check over, and proceeed to do MC. Normally I have 20min for MC and then checking through paper.

Same here, I also finish within 50-60 mins for chem. For physics I was finishing in about 40mins.

I finished today's physics with 30mins to go, I don't know how everyone was so strapped for time.

Admittedly through I did mess a lot of questions up.

Yeah, lot's of people seemed to not finish it for some reason.
I went through the exam much more slower today, was being extra careful and stuff like checking calculations at least two or three times and using different approaches. Still ended up finishing with 20mins spare.

I think it's good to be aware that your actual exam tomorrow might take you a bit longer to get through because a lot more is at stake - please keep this in mind guys, and all the best :)

If you have time left over think carefully before you change answers, I always second guess myself and end up getting it wrong!
