I just returned after 5 hours of writing non stop for a Final exam. Fucking insane how my mind is numb after this. So I ask you TL which was your longest Exam ever done? and did you pass it?

My exam was a 7 question exam about a Public Relations Case which I had to examine Boeing (The aeroplane manufacturer) and its crisis situation about the 6 year delay of the launch of their new Jumbo jet 787.
It isn't super hard but damm its tiring.

Well the United States standardized SAT (the exam that high schoolers take to get into a good college) is 3 hours and 45 minutes, which is probably the longest test that most Americans take. I've taken college exams that are around that long too. The worst was probably my math analysis (read as: Calculus 5) exam, which was about 3 hours and 30 minutes, and wasn't ridiculously easy like the SAT was -.-'

I think 3 hours was the longest exam I've ever done, it was engineering so there was a lot of thinking/calculating involved not non-stop writing but it was a bitch, a 5 hourer must be insane.

I think 3 hours (some 50% of module exam at the end of the uni year) is the longest single exam I've sat, however I did have one day during my A levels (required to enter University) where I had 3 exams during a day which also clashed with another subject I needed to sit an exam for. So I had to do 6 hours of exams then go to a teachers house and stay there overnight without communication and take the exam the next day

.

That said my A levels weren't exactly brain taxing so I can't imagine any exam 5 hours long that actually required you to think. Must actually hurt after that long!

Physics exams in my highschool were really long, some people spent the entire day with them (7 hours). The longest for me was probably around 5 hours long.

Oh yeah they were usually about statics. Bigass problems.

And they were hard as hell, I was always a little afraid about rechecking my solutions because if I found a mistake in one then I would have to do it all over again. And the paper they gave us to write in was some recycled trash that looked like total shit if you ever considered erasing in it.

I didn't take it, but a physics professor at a college I went to once gave a 24 hour final. I believe there were 6 questions. You were also allowed to call any of your friends (not in the class) for help if you wanted - because it wouldn't matter anyway. :p

my black belt exam took 6 hours and was very difficult, but obviously in a very different way from yours.

My longest exam was a 4.5 hour tort final with only one question / hypothetical. That exam was the last one I had in my first semester of law school, started at 4 and got out at 8:30. It was a pain in the ass, especially because you want to finish it up so bad so you can go party and enjoy winter break.

Algorithms and Data Structures: 8 hours

morning: 4 hours of exercices
afternoon: (1.5 hour writen theory and 0.5 hour oral exam ) x 2 although you had more time than you needed for the theory so it wasn't a full 4 hours of hard work.

Longest without breaks was probably history and chemistry on 1 day in high school: 4h40 non stop.

Never had an exam in Uni that took less that 6 hours. I always went home and shut down for half a day afterwards. No brain capacity left.

My longest test was a 37 page component and design techniques for digital systems. I think I finished in roughly three hours but it was so long that my professor had to leave the exam to catch a flight. The TA proctored the rest of the exam after he left.
