Have you ever cried in an exam or after it?

Question

I've seen ones doing it and also wanted to do few times, but I never let myself.

I enjoyed exams and never felt that temptation. Though I seem to be good at exams but in a way that's not necessarily suggestive of my knowledge of my material.

For example, in a psychology course, the professor gave us a multiple-choice exam on a really obscure subject that none of us knew about. The average score for correct answers was something like 30%. I got 88% even though I didn't know a single correct answer. I just sort of guessed what the correct answer might be.

Of course I can't pull off that trick for written exams, but in general exams weren't so stressful for me. They're like the actual boxing match. The stress is in all the training and preparation beforehand.

I did, however, celebrate and jump for joy often after final exams were over in university, since now I could finally relax. I didn't shed tears in those moments after, but if I did, they'd be tears of joy.

No, I don’t cry for anything really. Last time I cried was as a young kid, I tend to accept the situation and move on

During an exam and after, No.  but during studying, I get stressed and anxious that I want to be left alone. But at the same time I kinda wanna cry. Or IF I fail the exam. I shut down. and then cry.

Yas I've seen a girl cry after the final for Asymptotic methods, I think she's a Physics major but tbh it was super hard for everyone including math majors. The exam was at like 7 PM so everyone was exhausted too.
I still remember literally the first lecture for that course the professor said: "exam will be hard" and told us we better drop out before it's too late because this course's purpose is to weed out the weak 😂😂😂 most of us laughed because it sounded like he was joking. I mean looking back, the content was pretty straightforward: asymptotic expansions, Laplace's method, stationary phase, boundary layers, multiple scales, WKB approximations, asymptotic Lagrangians, bifurcation theory, lengthy names but a lot of what we do was just series expansion and estimate which part can be throw away.
Then the assignments came out, they were rather easy, so at that point I thought this course was a meme. Then the day before exam, professor said "exam will be very similar to the assignments". Rejoice! I didn't spend much time preparing for it.
Then the exam happened, it was the last exam, in the evening. I was like "lol just write some boundary layer approximations then get out before 9 to go to the bar", nope fuck you the questions were like the assignments but on steroids, they were basically at the level of PhD qualifying exam. 7 questions, each has several parts, each part is a scary looking physics problem, perturbation, wave propagation, porous flow etc 😱😱😱 except for the last question, which is 10 asymptotic integrals lmao just reading them made me dizzy. The only problem I did solve completely was problem 1. For the rest I just outlined the ideas (aka random thoughts came to mind) towards a solution and claimed "computations are trivial at this point"
The only reason I'm writing this is because I got A+ for that class. I emailed the professor later and asked if there was a mistake, he said my grade was due to the bell curve (God bless bell curve lol). Too bad for that girl who cried I never really talked to her RIP she will be forever remembered. But nobody failed that class, don't worry about her lol

On a side note, I think some applied mathematicians make exam look like extreme physical labor for their poor sleep deprived students because they have some sort of inferiority complex against pure math. For comparison, my algebra exam was nothing sort of a walk in a beautiful garden.

I haven't cried..
But last semester..
During final..
The male teacher invigilator was and female invigilator were both single and available..
And the way male invigilator was acting doing moonwalk and trying to get her attention and talk to her. Was so funny even though he was +25 he was acting like a rookie..
So I couldn't stop myself from laughing!.
It was hilarious,..
And they were both confused because they were worried why was I smiling...
They even asked..
I said " Exam is a joke! That's why I am smiling"..

I never feel like crying..
I have failed enough paper to realise..
There is joy after exam. Doesn't matter how paper goes.

İlkokulda bayağa, en son ortaokulda ağlamıştım ama sonra bıraktım. Umarım son zamanlarda istememişsindir bunu?

No. It’s just a test. Kids like that used to make me feel disappointed in humanity. The thought that that kid crying over a piece of paper with hard questions had ancestors that fought wild animals regularly is embarrassing at best.

Yes, once. First time I didn’t finish an exam in time during med school and it was for a BS reason. I was convinced I failed but ended up passing anyway

Zorax · Answer

I was very sad, but not because of the difficult exam, I was thinking about something else, something very depressing for me.
