hi nrgdfenz! yes, i have failed an exam, probably more than once when i was still in school. the most memorable of it was an exam in Inorganic Chemistry. i cried over it. ^__^;; probably because i didn't study for it and i was being lazy and failing it felt like taking my mom for granted since she was the one shouldering my school expenses. i know its her responsibility and obligation but as a daughter, it was also my responsibility to do my part. so i felt so ashamed of myself and i cried. ^__^;; but i learned that failing an exam in our school was a normal and ordinary thing. even someone who studied so hard can fail there. its because the exams are hard and some of the professors are terror. ^__^;; but i was thankful that i didn't fail any subject.

I have failed once in a very big examination. The subject is Additional Mathematics. I really hate that subject and I know I can't do anything about it anymore. My math teacher is also shaking her head because she gave up on teaching me. However I was lucky because it is not a compulsory subject to taken into consideration if I want to enter the university. I got a very strong credit for my Modern Mathematics so it is still okay for me. Now I have graduated and I already have a degree.

I am finished of my high school days. And yes, I also got failing marks but it doesn't affect that much. This way, I will strive more than before. I will not let it happen again. I will prove to myself that I can do better though I failed. Anyway you still have 4 years to go. You still have a lot of opportunities. Just study harder and do good in school. Nobody's perfect, everybody does mistakes. Good luck!

Hi there. I am a student in my 3rd and last year - at my university i have had no failed exams but i have had one when i was in high school, but on the grander scale i don't regret it, as it thought me a valuable lesson.

Yes i have lots of exams in school. I can't remember any. From my elementary years up to college, I have some exams who failed. But not only me who failed, most of the exams that I have failed is that the teachers are not valid in their exams and not only me who failed but most of us in the classroom.

I passed my student life and I had failed in 2 subjects in one year. At that moment, I feel ashamed but nothing happens.

But then i asked two or three of friends and listen what they told me not to break freindship wid them as they were also flunked in the internals.and i couldn't stop myself laughin' out.that was hilarious!!!...haah... then we all started singin' 'dont worry be happy'.

Of course I did! I am not perfect. I hate math and it was where I fail during High School and College. But when I fail, I see to it that I have to do better next time. And when I fail, I am not the only one and surely, not the lowest one. I failed maybe because I did not study well or maybe I just was not able to internalize what I was supposed to learn. Good for you. You only failed once. Good luck to the four more years ahead of you. Cheers!

Yes in 1988 we had typing exams on old manual type writters. I failed this. I would excell now with all the computers around. Do not worry, my daughter got one D and she resat this year and got a B. We can not be good at everything.
