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.

I tend to finish things rather quickly and usually am one of the first done, if not the first. However I never turn things in first. I usually will wait till someone else is done and follow them to turn an assignment or test in.


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).
