If anyone out there can provide a link to your schools exam review policies I’d really appreciate it!!! This would include any time you are able to see a test after taking it – you get it back vs. go somewhere to review it with faculty. I do need actual policy if at all possible.
THANKS!!!

Our exam policy is not available online as far as I know, but ours is pretty simple. "Exams are for evaluation purposes only and not education." We don't get to see them except for one class in which we can check the test out and look at it in the department office for a time period no longer than an hour and without any writing utensils or cell phones.

No link but you get two 30 min review sessions to go over answers. If you think there is a mis-keying, you may request a xerox bubble sheet copy to be shown to you. You never see the original.

No writing utensils. Exams are not diagnostic purposes only.

We have feedback immediately after the exam, typically for 1 hour. We get our exam booklet back (but not the scantron, so you need to make sure to circle all your answers in the booklet), and the correct answers are projected at the front of the lecture hall. There are slips of paper you can fill out if you think a question was unfair, and include your reasoning for why you chose a different answer. If enough people submit slips about an item, and they have a good enough reason, that item will get double-keyed or thrown out.

You can also go to the office and see your exam booklet during normal business hours for the next 4 (or maybe 6) weeks.

We get them back permanently. There are also "challenge forms" that you can turn in w/ journal/textbook proof that your answer is right even if the prof said otherwise.

We have protest sessions for nearly every exam-- a couple hours set aside where we can bring our scantrons, look at a copy of the test (but not keep it), then submit protests.

We are allowed to protest questions for one working day after completion of the test. However, we don't see our grades for about a week, meaning that we're protesting things that we're not sure we missed. Also, once the grades have gone out, there are no changes, meaning that even if something got missed in the review process, it doesn't change. After we get a grade we can look at our tests for one week in the Medical Education office with no writing implements. I think ours might be changing though, it's fairly outdated.
All our exams are on computer, so they do statistical analysis and catch most of the bad questions pretty easily.

This is what my school does too. They seem pretty fair about it.

Also, if you could say what school you attend that would be great!!! Along with if the students and faculty seem to like the policy - it seems like most of you are putting that anyways!
Thanks!
