How did you feel when you failed in an exam?

well i feel pretty bad after i failed in my exam,as it was so important to me cause the result of that exam is asked every were in my country,i got low marks in that subject ,well i was not preparing for that subject the whole year and i thought i would do it in the end ,but i was wrong,as i did some of the pending work in "maths"but i didn't practice it much as practice is most important in maths actually i was attending some tuition classes for maths too,but i was not attending it regularly,and i bunked many of the classes ,later on i was not able to understand what my teacher was explaining to me so i said no to maths and i started ignoring what my teacher was trying to explain me ,when she asks me whether i got her or not,i usually say yes mam ,cause if i would say no then i would be in a big trouble n when the exams came ,i started feeling like to jump from a big tower as i was not able to understand a single word written in the book, my friends explained me the whole subject within 7days..!!and then i stared studying maths..very well...!! thanks to my friends.. yeah there were times when i ws not able to finish my whole exam ,it was a competitive exam..! regards

It may have been many many years ago. But I still could remember it. I have always been quite a diligent student and have always tried my best in everything I did, including tests and exams. So, I was very disappointed when I failed in a mid-year exam I sat in junior college. I failed overall because I failed in a couple of subjects including Accounting. I was very sad that I cried when I told my mom about it. My dad had to come to see the principal because of that! Can't tell how embarrassed I was at that time. But I realised that I wasn't the only one who failed. Many others did as well. It was just that our principal was fussy and probably had so much free time to meet all these parents of students who failed. But it was a wake-up call for me and I worked harder after that and achieved Grade A for that subject finally. Yippee!
