Question: Are you possibly going wrong now by discussing the content of pending law exam with other law students in violation of rules imposed by your school and/or professor?

The exam is over, all 1L's at my school took their torts exam today. Why would it matter?

Better to answer it, professors generally don't take off points*. You might just not get any points.

*Obviously this depends completely on the professor.

Rather, vanwinkle is implying that you probably aren't of the knowledge if every single person took the exam and Professors are quite protective of exam information within a certain period. He is just teaching caution.

1) Are you sure about that? There may be a student who did not take today and was granted a 2-week extension due to personal reasons or something like that. You don't know that every other student has taken it.

2) Even if all students have taken it, your school may still prohibit discussion of the exam. You've given enough detail for the professor to know you were in his class, and your username sounds a lot like a first name and last initial. You're playing with fire, IMO.

You are probably right. I am sure there's a gunner out there that would gladly report me to increase his chances of an A.
