Just finished my last exam of the term today.  So, what should I do now?  RELAX!  I studied hard and did my best and I am not going to waste my time looking back.  I see law students every year rush to their backpacks and rifle through their notebooks and casebooks after the exam to see if they got an answer right.  Why?  So they can feel bad if they got it wrong?  Once the answer has been submitted it is over!  You cannot change it, so why bother stressing out even more?

After my exams I never crack a casebook or look through an outline.  Once my answer has been submitted I have recorded my knowledge of the particular question.  The time for second guessing and analyzing is over.  Don’t stress out about things you cannot change.  My best advice to every law student who has just taken an exam is this: forget about it.  You have earned the right to relax for a while.

Remember, if you cannot change it, forget it and move on.  If you perhaps feel that an essay answer is appealable, then you can review your notes.  Until then you should give your mind and body a well deserved break.  God bless and have a great day.
