Why cant I see my final test paper?

aruray · Dec 17, 2004

Anybody else have this policy in their school?

I've never cared much to see my paper in the previous semesters but being a senior I think its helpful for the nclex to see the answers for the final. teacher reviews and lets us see all exams except the final. what is up with that? ive even approached her privately but still is a no go. I really wanna see my paper only for nclex purposes. dont care to argue questions anymore, just want to see the answers and why. any ideas on how i can convince teacher to let me?

Our instructors didnt give us the opportunity to see our final tests. During the school year we could review our tests at the end of the period but werent allowed to take them away from the instructors desk and in no way write down the questions we missed to review them at home.

I dont know their rational behind NOT letting you come back in and review them with the instructor though. Except not many people want to go back, once you pass the final as long as you passed just be happy and forget it.

Thos few questions wont be of much consequence in passing or failing your NCLEX anyway. Use your review books, follow the study tips in the front of the books and that will do more for you than seeing that last final.

Many schools and their profs actually pay for their multiple choice questions. If they let students see their exams, it gets expensive to replace them very year.

At least thats what we were told here. Mybe ytou should do what I did..Tell her you don't have a photographic memory that can record in 10 minutes. "So let me see my test please." It didn't work. :angryfire

my school uses nclex review questions as exam questions. so they aint losing any money there. hehe. but i think that u might be right in that they dont have a lot of questions to go around with. my senior yr teachers probably use the same final for 20 yrs already. but they cant possibly worry about a student leaking 100 questions just by letting her look at a test paper for 10 minutes.

I think my school's policy is that students can't see their final test papers before marks are released officially. This is what my academic calendar has to say:

Graded examination papers are the property of the University and are not intended to be available to students. They may be seen by students only if a formal appeal of a final grade has been unsuccessful (see Academic Appeals below). Requests to see an examination paper must be made in writing to the Office of the Registrar. There is a fee for each request.

What good is writing a test if you never find out what you didn't know? How can you learn from your mistakes if you never learn what they were?

Believe it or not, I didn't even get to know what I got on the Final. All grades are posted in college system, and they posted my average percentage and my grade, but no final grade. I calculated it myself, from given percentage, it looks like I got 98%. But still weird. We were never told about special policy in this regard.
