I don't, that's the point. For 3unit I have a maximum of 10-15 minutes give or take looking back time, and I find that looking bcak is only useful if you re-do the question rather than just "observe" your working out.

In extension 2, you're very pushed for time, and so you should be able to finish the exam with 5-10 minutes left if you're lucky, otherwise - no, no time at all to look back.
Hahaaah i never have time to look at over my work in ext 1, never finish too bloody hard (i try to do every Q though). Fortunately i dont do ext 2 : /

2U on other hand, i usually have abit of time to go back and check my working. I seemed to be cursed with getting the easiest questions wrong and the hardest questions right.
