I have failed a couple of exams before but I'm usually the type of person who would bounce back after failing in something so its really nothing I'm not use to.

D: I hate failing. Even if I pass, if the result is less than I wanted, I get all depressed and angry at myself for it. Everyone says I shouldn't beat myself up. But I end up doing it anyways. I can't help it though, its the way I am. So I really hope I don't fail. Ha. Meh. Mom says sometimes I aim too high. I've never failed before though. Its hard to think about it at the time, but most of the time, theres an opportunity to re-take the exam. So like, even failing GCSE's here in secondary school, I could do them at college. There might be a fee, but if I get qualifications that are going to help me get a job, its worth it. And its my fault for failing in the first place.

Eeek. Passing out, doesn't sound good. Though, when my results haven't been as good as I'd hoped, that got me down and I was sick, once.

I don't think it has to end at suicide. There are many other opporunities. Of course, it'd be easier if you passed, but there are always doors to go through. Over here, it seems like qualifications mean absolutley jack all in this day and age, though. Just nobody can get a job in general. And its like an endless cycle, too. Everywhere wants somewhere with experiance. Yet how do you get this experiance if nowhere will hire you for you to get any? Doesn't make any sense. Its not easy, but I think theres way more to life.

I've never failed anything really but I think, if I got bad scores, I'd just be disappointed. Maybe work harder next time? I dunno, never been in that situation either <_< My results aren't everything but I guess, they are really important. I'm aiming for straight As and never will allow myself to get below that.

I took statistics this last semester and I was really annoyed because normally I am a pessimist and I doubt myself when it comes to grades for exams, but this time I thought I did really well, and inside I was thinking I got an A but I kept telling myself I got a B so I wouldn't be let down, and when I got my paper back I was surprised to see a C+ (79.5%). I quickly skimmed through the exam to see what I missed, and I really didn't miss anything, he took off points for little details here and there. There was this answer I gave: (35.5-45.5) and he marked a point off cause he wanted a comma instead of the dash. So I tried extra hard in that class and got 1 B and 2 As in the next 3 exams, did all my homework, and did pretty well on my final, but he still gave me a B in class even though I had the highest grade at 87%. He didn't curve at all. From the original 50 or so students when the class started, there was only 12 of us left at the end, and even with 12 he didn't give any As.

I can understand what it's like where you're life is sort of controlled by your grades and you can't handle failure. I was like that up until recently. But I just got sick of the anxiety and always worrying and stressing over getting the perfect mark. My marks are still pretty good now, not as high as they might have been, but I'm slightly less stressed.

I think some people are so obsessed with how they do in school because school is what drives them. Most people feel the need for a purpose and even if it's something trivial like passing an exam, that purpose is a driving force and it gives you something to reach for when you have no other goals or have no other sense of purpose in life.

I've finally learned to get over bad marks and just accept it, but I'm still about as depressed as ever because now I feel I don't have any goal or reason. I don't know what kind of career I would want, and I have no idea what I'm going to do in the future. The people who are devestated over failure might also be uncertain of their futures and all they know is that if they want to reach a future, then they need to do well now so they can atleast get to that oppurtunity point.

Pressure makes them pass out. luckily my family doesnt pressure too hard so i don't really mind if i just score a pass in a tough subject...

I don't pressure myself in any class. I'm a very laid back person. I do try to make at least a B in most of my classes, which I have met all but once. I ended up making a C in Art History while in college. Good thing is I was failing up until the final few quizzes and exam. The teacher was known to be hard. He didn't teach from a book or notes. Everything came from his head. He would write some of the information on the board, but it didn't help much except for some concept art of what we were studying. When he gave us a quiz it would could be fill in the blank, draw something, or writing what a word means. At the time I never really knew how to study and he forced me to actually use a digital voice recorder to pass his class.

Exams are quite bizarre for me. They make me really nervous yet I feel indifferent at the same time. Needless to say, I'd still be extremely upset if I failed an exam. I was pretty nervous for math but was too lazy to study properly (I just looked stuff over pretty vaguely) but I got a 96.3 on the exam, which I am quite proud of XD

If I had failed, though, I'd probably have to burn something, like a cardboard box, and throw it in my pool. I'd probably laugh and feel better afterwards (this, friends, is a joke of course). I think the reason why I would be so troubled would be because of my parents who would be 'disappointed'. I hate that word...

I never failed. But get critical point its hurt me. I was cry because my GPA lower than 3 from maximum 4 even I get 2,89. its very sad when I already try but still failed

Not much,
Guess it depends on the exam

I don't usually take exam seriously.
Except when it's the final exam
Especially when it's the FINAL FINAL EXAM
It's one of those exam that when you miss 0.01 point of the passing grade you will be held back and you can't fix it. It's scary as hell waiting for the result

Exams are for me terrible , I can sleep the night before and I'm extrem nervous ..., but I had the luck that I was never fail a exam , but a friend from me failed a exam and he was kick out from the family ( I don't understand why ? ) , they said to him that he is a loser and don't deserve to be a family member , its very hard and extrem :( ...my reaction would actually not so bad , because I know that I gave my best so if it failes that try again ^^

If I failed an exam? I have no memory of ever failing an exam, because I am a good student. Yes, I play video games, I do sports, and I do spend time online. So if I were to ever fail an exam, I would suck it up, go home, study a bit harder, and take another crack at it.

It doesn't matter what exam it is, I get super pissed because I wasted money and time and have to take the damn course again. then I blame myself for my procrastination and laziness and try not to commit the same mistake (keyword try)

When my exam failed, I'm just saying this...
"dammit, not again..."

I just laughed when i failed in an exam once.. my classmates didn't believe me that i failed.. my teacher also laughed at me.. and we all laughed together.. it was good to experience failing in exams once in a while..
