Hello,

To say "turn in the paper" or "hand in the take-home final exam," would I use the word "подать" or "сдать" (or something else entirely)?

Thanks!

сдать

yes, exactly - сдать-сдавать in both...
The same is for 'to take the exam'. That's really funny... In English - professor gives exam and student takes. In Russian - профессор принимает экзамен, а студент сдаёт. :)))

And students sit exam in English. I was looking why do they sit exam. The only thing I've found is that members of Parliament sit on their sittings as well :) Exam sitting is the same as Parliament sitting :))

Подать прошение, заявление etc. - about the official papers (which you hand i when you need it yourself).
Сдать экзамен, работу - about the duties.
I think the rule is like that.

To turn in - сдать, вернуть.

1) Сдавать
2) Сдавать

Подавать: for example, to submit an application.
