How long for test grades?

How long does it take your professors to post the grades for your tests? We took a test yesterday and it looks like we will have to wait all weekend, AGAIN. This makes me CRAZY!!!

About 2-3 hours after the test ends. It's posted before we go out for lunch!

Instantaneously for some classes and then the next day for others

Well after we take our tests and turn in our scantrons the professor will check to make sure they are all there and then she will review our test with us. Therefore we usually have an idea of our grades even before leaving. It then takes anywhere from a few hours to a week to get the official results.

We have to wait a WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK to get our tests back! Consider yourselfs LUCKY!

depends...sometimes the same day, sometimes the next day, sometimes 2 days after taking the exam. The worst for me was having to wait for our final exam grades for nursing research. regardless of how we did in that class, we had to get a C or better in the final, otherwise you fail. It was the stupidest rule ever. You could have a 100% in the class but if you got below a 74% on that final, then you automatically fail. The final was also extremely hard. I left crying certain I failed! I was also supposed to graduate that semester so that made it even worse. We had to wait A WEEK for our grades to be posted. It was torture, but thank goodness I passed. That was worse than waiting 48 hours for my official NCLEX results!
