To sign 'examination', start with both hands in front of you using '1' handshapes, with your index fingers pointing up and palms facing forward. Move both hands downwards while bending your index fingers into 'X' handshapes. Finally, continue moving your hands down while opening them into flat handshapes with your palms facing the ground, as if laying a piece of paper on a desk.
To sign this, establish the timeframe 'tomorrow' first, then sign 'final' followed by 'examination'. Ensure your hands finish flat and crisp to show the formality of the exam.
Start with 'you', sign 'study' by wiggling your fingers over your non-dominant hand, and finish with 'examination'. Remember to raise your eyebrows throughout to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'examination', then 'very', and finally 'difficult' using both 'V' handshapes striking each other. Use a strained facial expression during 'difficult' to show just how hard the exam was.

Yes, 'examination', 'test', and 'quiz' all use the exact same sign in ASL. The specific meaning is understood through the context of your conversation and the English word you might be mouthing.
While understood, it is more common to use the sign for 'check' or 'investigate' when referring to a medical exam or doctor's appointment. The sign shown here is primarily used for academic or written examinations.
The speed can reflect the nature of the exam. A quick, small movement might imply a short quiz, while a larger, more deliberate downward motion emphasizes a major, formal examination.
