I just assess what I did wrong and look at what is needed to avoid the same result occuring again.
This.

I identify what went wrong and try not to do it next time. (Which is a bit difficult when we don't get finals back at uni.)

If I put in a lot of work and just concentration/reading ability in the exam stopped me from answering the questions correctly I get a bit upset though, but what can you do?

When i receive marks I don't like - generally because of silly mistakes - so I rage at myself (lulz)
- when its because I didn't know how to do a question - I simply learn or relearn that concept so I can smash it in the next test.

1. Unleash my anger against my punching bag.
2. Go out for a run.
3. Listen to relaxing songs.
4. Reflect and meditate to regain motivation.
5. Practising and going over my mistakes to kill the next test that comes up.

I eat chocolate, have a cry, talk to others who I know will make me feel better about myself. Think about how hard I've worked and that it was the best I could do etc. I think the most fulfilling thing is moving on, realising that feeling sorry for yourself etc is a waste of time, and starting to work again

Look at your paper and find out where you made errors then lock it away and forget about it.

Rage at the teacher for poor marking and convince myself it's not me, it's the marking.
When a little disappointed, I just go for a really long walk (maybe 2-3 hours) to think about things and when come back 100% motivated.

I change them..

ie. for my general maths test i got 13 %
so i drew a loop on the 1 turning it into a 9 and i reflected a mirror image of the 3 and drew it... giving me an 8
so i pretty much got 98% in that exam.
feel great

I force myself to watch 10 minutes of gay porn for every 1 mark lower scored than the average.

... Wasted half an hour after getting my english test back and never scored under it again.

FUARK. That sounds like the greatest motivator ever. Too bad I'm finished trials already :(

Enlightening.
In all seriousness though, I've never got marks I don't like. yr 7-10 I didn't care at all and I've done decently in every senior assessment.

Thanks so much guys!!! Much of it is the simple 'learn from your mistakes' concept. :)

I am ignoring the masturbation though... LOL.

I will try my best to move on! But in reference to my marks I have received, is that kind of bad? :S Because I know now that I will try really hard, and I am being more positive. My best subject is religion, so at least that scales pretty well. Same as English Adv.

I really wish everyone good luck in our finals. :)

tbh, I actually get my marks checked and see as to why I didn't do well. For maths, I would try to convince teachers so that I can scab marks off them. Worked in MX2 3 times (Y)

This is my source of happiness at the moment.

I also complain for several hours to my friends until my disappointment turns into fury and after that, I study again. It doesn't work all the time though. Sometimes it's just continual pain even when thinking about the subject.
