How it's used
Students often shorten this to just 期末考 in casual conversation when the context of school is already clear. While it refers to the exam period, it is frequently used to describe the entire stressful season leading up to the tests rather than just the specific hours spent in the exam hall.

Common mistake
Avoid using this term to refer to a mid-term exam, which is specifically called 期中考試. Learners sometimes confuse the two, but they represent distinct periods in the academic calendar.
