Default how do you feel about 4 hours limit

hi there,

How do you feel about 4 hours limit?

I do not know whether I am the common case. I feel the time is not the problem at all. I usually could finish the exam in 3 and a half hours. I am not saying I did it well. In fact, all the probelms I could not figure out are related to my knowledge in stead of time limit. So the last 30 minutes do not help me at all.

I need all the time I can get. I am a slow test taker.

I'm certain the evil empire could not care less about how we feel about the time limit.

Even if I don't need all the time, I feel more confident if I don't have to rush through the problems and can check them afterward. I never leave the exam room early, even once I finished the exam in 3 hours. You can always look at the "impossible" problems, and who knows, some ideas might come to you during that 1 hour.
