| Apr 15, 2022 at 18:29 | comment | added | Dan | During a summer exam period you might say that students endure a long stretch of exams. I'd more happily describe a 'final' exam as a last "hurdle" than a last "stretch" because stretch is most often used to suggest a(n extended) duration of time (with multiple challenges/"hurdles"). You might also describe the final exam as "one last push". | |

| Apr 11, 2022 at 19:21 | comment | added | John Lawler | Exams can be of any length, and customs vary at each school, not to speak of which country. "Stretch" is part of a "horse race" Path theme, where it refers to some length of the path. As long as it doesn't obviously refer to a single point, stretch can contain any number of arbitrary units or events. Counting is not included -- stretching a string does not involve counting -- metrics and distance are not part of topology. | |
