Are you always the last person in class to finish tests?

When we were examining a Linux disk image on a virtual box for the sake of a mockup digital investigation case, I finished before most people did. I also scored 67% which isn't great but it's fine by me since it's up there far beyond a passing grade.

With that in mind, context really matters. A conventional test with a lot of reading and consideration, I would often be toward the back of the pack there.

It depends. If it a subject I'm okay at then I'll probably be one of the last ones to finish but not the last. If it's a subject I struggle with I will probably never get the chance to finish. Science was really hard for me and I actually never even started the tests I was given in that class.

Depends on the class. 90% of the time I'm the first one to turn in history quizzes to the point that I sometimes feel self conscious about taking too little time on them. I take a bit longer on maths tests because I always make sure to check my work as much as I can, but I'm generally not the last. I'm always the last to finish science tests but I have only used extra time on them once. The tests that I always end up using extra time on are English and history since we always have to write and that takes a long time for me. On Latin and French I tend to finish average time.

Don't worry about how long it takes you; chances are that no one cares, and for me at least, I've noticed that how long I spend on a test is unrelated to my performance.

I take a long time at tests, but in mathematics I actually test quite fast. I notice that while I tend to take the longest I also tend to do the best in the class. So it's a tradeoff of speed for accuracy.

I sure do have this problem as well. There's some occasions where I don't even get it done before the end of the class period.

Yes in middle school people used to get pissed when I took forever on my SOL

You guys remember those?

Yes!! I always waited until someone else turned in theirs, especially one of my friends.

Though I was sometimes one of the last to finish tests, but not always (or I was waiting for a friend to finish and had to wait a long time, pretending to still be taking the test lol).
