>being anxious AFTER an exam for what purpose?

It is impossible. So just give up. What I do is that I let my destructive nature take hold. I start scrutinizing my work now that it is too late to fix it and start mentally going over my procedure thinking about every step I may have fucked up.

I keep doing this for about an hour and then my destructive part gets tired and goes away and I go back to other things.

You can't fight it. If you try to distract yourself or calm yourself you will just feel shittier. All that you can do now is kill yourself, hope there is a god and an afterlife, then go to that god and kick him in the nuts for designing us like this.

Because I don't know if I did good ( I usually do but there is always a chance I fuck up like put the wrong signs or something)

OMG the first paragraph is me to a t. I keep thinking about how I fucked up.

The worse is also when the professor takes forever to grade them. I can feel my heart beat faster than the previous day for every day it takes the son of gun to grade them. Weekends get ruined over this.

i don't know. Fuck this.

I calculate worse case scenarios and minimum scores to maintain an A. Waiting sucks but like anything else taking your mind off it helps. Try not to be too destructive but I can't really talk because I'm an alcoholic (apparently)

I usually curdle into a ball and cry until the grade comes out. It's worked so far.

I assumed everyone here was an alcoholic.

I never perform less than exceptionally on exams so I would not know.

I don't get nervous before or after. You are most likely overestimating the importance of this grade.
I know it's your final but if you already maintain a 4.0 the test is probably not far from perfect. And if it is, that won't make it impossible to get a scholarship.
