How many of you double checked each one of your answers??? double, therefore, question, checked

Jupiter

I feel like double checking is for losers and therefore I never do it. Once I circle an answer it will take a grace from god for me to change it.

I just feel that if I double check an answer I might end up overthinking and change the correct answer. If I am unsure I just skip the question and come back to it. But if I calculate the answer and it matches one of the choices I just fill it in and move on.

Anyone else do that or do you go back to every single question? Assuming that the time permits since a lot of you finished with 45 minutes to spare

(I might've exaggerated on the loser part)

I finished both sections with 70-90 minutes left and went back through. Ended up changing 3 or 4 on AM, and maybe 15 on PM (my first time through the PM, I was losing focus. I went to the bathroom and threw some water on my face before checking the answers and that helped).

Well in the morning sessions I checked all questions including math ones. In the afternoon, eventually I was like "F this I just want to stop" and started only rechecking the not straight forward ones (including mathmatical ones).

I saved at least 5 by double checking. I double checked all the checked ones + all ethics during AM and most checked ones in PM...

i work very quickly through the exam, so i absolutely double checked. There were a few I changed, because I was certain, after thinking it over, I had given the wrong answer.

I tend to work fast, but sometimes I can zoom past important info (for example "most accurate" vs "least accurate" etc.

So doing the re-check gave me a chance to slow down and read everything again. Definitely was time well spent, imo

Ya I double-checked, not really the computation stuff though unless my answer wasn't working. Ended up catching 2-3 that I for sure had wrong, and fixed 1 calculation one that I wasn't getting an exact match at first.

Double checking is for losers? I guess the entire test center composed of 90% "losers".

Finished early and didn't double check. Feel like I probably passed, but have no idea how I actually did (felt bad about my mock exam but did 83%, felt great in the morning but abused by the afternoon section).

I did it for entire AM and many of some of PM problems

For PM, I felt it was easier than AM so was working really cautiously, sometimes reading the same simple stuff twice. But that was a bad strategy as later on I felt I had some crunch of time and had to work through the 15 problems not solved in first go in a bit of rush. I am feeling like pulling my hair right now. I made the same mistake when I took my GRE exam.

I didn't double check the computational stuff. Lik job7118, I splashed my face with water before I came back to spend the remaining 45ish minutes checking my answers.

Was glad I did because some questions made more sense than they did the first time, and I ended up changing answers.

Then, was cursing myself for checking again because I started overthinking stuff, trying to identify the trick in the question even if there wasnt one. Now I'm worried I may have screwed up. But double checking definitely helped overall.

The first time, you are faced with a time constraint so you dont really spend more than a certain amount of time on every question. But going back to that question in the end, knowing that you dont have to rush through it this time, makes the whole 'processing' part easier
