People who know their stuff well and get good marks will perceive the exam differently from those who do neither, so to them the exam is easy only in comparison.
Well, this one probably does not count, because from these electronic tests you get the result back directly. But in my days when exams where on paper:
It was easy, I did not understand what I did wrong, and think I got it all right. (But when the teacher gives the paper back, it appears I have got it all wrong.)
Numerous times I thought it was difficult and got a 80% score, while my classmates that after the exam told me that they thought it was easy and got something like 50%.

Absolutely, but off topic here. I think Jeanne is referring to reactions after doing an exam. Right?
