The only possible excuse for this is when you are absolutely sure that
you have got 100%, but even then, there is always something you can do
to improve your paper. Check, and check again.
When you’ve finished, start back at the beginning, and try to do the
questions in different ways, and check they agree. Add more explanations
if you can.
If you've got time left at the end, try remembering the mnemonic: ACUTE - This stands for Assumptions, Calculations, Units, Truth, Explanations.
ASSUMPTIONS
Have you explained them all, even when not explicitly asked.
CALCULATIONS
Have you checked them all - doing things different ways if possible and time permits. Did you press those calculator buttons right? Do the answers to different parts of the question agree? Check, and check again.
UNITS
Have you written the units you're using? Do the units for all formulas make sense and agree - this is a very powerful technique for checking that your derivations are right and you're using the right formula.
TRUTH
Have you done all the parts of all the sections in the questions? If asked to make a list and explain why, don't just make a list. This is probably the biggest cause of unnecessary lost marks - read the question and answer the question, the whole question, and nothing but the question. Just like the truth in a court of law.
EXPLANATIONS
Have I explained what I'm doing at all stages - good explanations will get marks for method even if the answer is wrong; miss out the explanation and you're throwing away easy method marks. I have never left an exam early in my life.
