Rails 3: A question about array

I've a question about that:

@st = exam.students.find(:all)
@st.each do |student|

Return me an array with all student, but:

exam.students.each do |student|

Return me an array with 4 times each students

Here is a print

print

Anyone have an idea about that?

UPDATE:

Here is my Exam Model:

set_table_name "exam"
set_primary_key "ID_Exam"

belongs_to :questionnaire, :foreign_key => "ID_Questionnaire"

has_many :responses, :foreign_key => "ID_Exam"
has_many :students, :through => :responses, :foreign_key => "ID_Exam", :group => "response.ID_Student" 

belongs_to :professor, :foreign_key => "ID_Professor"

has_many :student_exam_times
has_many :exam_halted_students
has_many :exam_paused_students
has_many :answered_questions

And this my Student Model:

set_table_name "student"
set_primary_key "ID_Student"

has_one :user, :foreign_key => "ID_User"

has_many :group_student, :foreign_key => "ID_Student", :group => "group_student.ID_Group"
has_many :groups, :through => :group_student, :foreign_key => "ID_Group"

has_many :responses, :foreign_key => "ID_Student"
has_many :exams, :through => :responses, :foreign_key => "ID_Exam", :group => "exam.ID_Exam"

has_many :student_exam_times
has_many :exam_halted_students
has_many :exam_paused_students
has_many :marked_questions
has_many :answered_questions

has_many :messages, :order => "viewed ASC, send_at DESC"

UPDATE 2:

Here is my block:

    students_exam = exam.students.find(:all)
    students_exam.each do |student|
      cont=StudentExamTime.find(:first,:conditions => {:student_id => student.id, :exam_id => params[:exam_id].to_i })
      bd_time=0
      if cont==nil
        cont=StudentExamTime.new
      else
        bd_time=cont.time
      end
      cont.student_id=student.id
      cont.exam_id=params[:exam_id].to_i
      cont.time=bd_time + params[:time].to_i
      cont.save
    end

Add :uniq => true

to 

has_many :students, :through => :responses, :foreign_key => "ID_Exam", :group => "response.ID_Student"

in your exam model

I have a suspicion your block within 

exam.students.each do |student|

is returning an array of 4 students. can you post that block too.

Looks like exam.students is returning every student with that associated exam (even duplicates)

Whereas exam.students.find(:all) is returning a list of unique students.

What does your model relation look like and your table setup?

Can you post the relationships in your Exam model?

My initial feeling is that you have more-complex-than-typical relationship between exam and students that could benefit from a "DISTINCT" declaration.
