I failed one of my semester exams.Dont know what to do?

Dude, which college is it? When I read the heading, I thought it will be some 1st semested boy from any engineering college. I was amazed to know that a final year student has so much problem with the result. I don't know how students of your college think, however, I am sure, anyone will feel it's really strange to hear words like this from a final year student. I was a topper of my class, never missed any internal exam in my college but I didn't attend one of my final semester exam. In India, after completing the first year itself, most of the students come to know that getting more marks and being a topper of your class does not mean anything. In final year, students are more concerned about their jobs and not these exam results. I see that you have mentioned of "Shame", really confusing, didn't your seniors teach you the lessons of no shame in your first semester before fresher's party? My suggestion would be, be strong, this professional world is much complex and tougher than your college, if you react like this for a semester result, how will you deal with bigger problems of your life? It's been four years since I have completed my engineering, I am working for a MNC, everything that I dreamed of as a student. My degree is still waiting for me in my college, I don't have time to go there and collect it. I hope this will help you to understand the value of passing or failing a semester exam. "Please" don't behave like a child. All the best !!!

First of all, forget what your friends might say or do. They are not the ones getting you through college - you are. Buckle down and study. When you study, do it for no longer than 15 minutes. Take a five minute break, study 15, break 5, study 15, etc. It's been proven that after fifteen minutes you brain simply slows down on absorbing information. It needs a break, just like you do when you are physically tired. That five minutes gives it a chance to file what you've already studied and opened the way for more information. So what if you are studying with 3rd year students? If you pass and get your college degree, will it matter five years from then? What will matter is that you did not give up, did not let friends, or third year jitters get in your way. That you persevered through everything because your education was of uppermost importance. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get over the shyness. It can be done because I did it. All it takes is going up to someone and introducing yourself. If you do that enough times, suddenly you will be able to talk with anyone about anything and ENJOY doing it. I kept waiting for everyone to realize I was shy. I waited for them to come to me. It ain't gonna happen. They have other people and things in their lives. You have to start the ball rolling by forcing yourself to speak in class, talk to others at breaks, get to know dorm and class members. When you offer them something - in this case, yourself and your knowledge - they will become a part of your world.

don't worry.. we just have to study harder, i have failed in my subjects too especially math and physics, but i vowed to study harder and promised to myself that i will pass next time.. you should commit yourself fully so that you will surely pass..

I did not face such a situation. But i still suggest that try to go for a revaluation. You could pass the exam. However if that does not work, i would suggest you to not take the result to your heart and just go out there, write your exam and clear it this time. There is nothing to feel bad about.

Oh! We're the same! I'm at my 3rd year 2nd semester in College. And right now, I'm experiencing criticisms from others. But cheer up! I know you can still cope up with others. I've experienced that also and I was totally embarrassed. I don't even want to go to school again. But come to think of it, you have still a chance to prove to them that you can change for the better! Well, my best of luck for you! God bless.

hey... maybe you have a problem men ... dnt 4get take a break men ... it just a test for you ...

hi, i am sorry to here that you will fail your semester exam.Think its not a end of any thing ,but its a beginning for analysis and refresh your study.See ,you must keep some interest in your subjects you can easily win. When i will studding college i will hate some subject,my major is computer science.but now i need that thing and study it in interesting,so in can understand it easily.So every thing you will study in the college will be useful in the future.So keep it mind and study better for the next exam. wish you all the best ...happy mylotting

hai lasitck... welcome to mylot.. iam sorry for your failed.. but live must goes on.. you must spirit and believe that next semester you can do more better..

I would suggest that you request for the opportunity to redeem yourself such as extra projects or other means to gain extra credit. Failing is not so bad so long as it does not stop your from trying. Teachers understand if you are having difficulties but you will have to tell them so that they can help you.

Hi, its very frustrating to fail an exam.......in highschool, yes, but in college i dont think so. When I was in college I got many failed exam result but I still pass the subjects because there are some factors that an instructor considers, example, if more than onehalf of the class fails, he then lowers the passing grade, another is if you always attend class then he can also consider that.... Instructor in college have considerations all you have to do is approach, let him know that you dont want to fail the subject..... Goodluck!!!!!

Keep Cool Buddy... Nothing is worry in this.Past is past let it be. Just apply for revaluation you will get it.Since you are 3 marks back u will definitely get it. Never loose your confidence it will pay way for failure.Be positive,confident then success is yours. Don't compare yourself with others and don't weight easily others.

I am really sorry to hear what happened to you. And ya i am the best person to understand you because i failed during one of my semesters in my academic life. But you shouldnt give up here. You should now work harder for the subject you have failed in. First of all you should figure out the topics you felt hard to prepare during your exams. Contact your faculty to understand them and prepare them well now. Then you must prepare topics that you could easily prepare, it would be like a quick revision for you. This is what i did, and believe me i got good grades when i reappeared for the exam. Most students, after failing in a subject, leave the topics they find hard and hence they have a greater probability of failing again when they re appear for the same exam. I hope i was clear to you. Do well now. All the best. Comment back for more help.
