Is failure in exams really the end of your life.Does wasting 1 whole year really worth that.Of course who can be that dumb to fail but I guess I have been too careless. I till today was pretty sure am gonna pass as there is grace in 3 subjects n I juss need a total of 15 marks in 2 subjects.But am not now as the results are nearing. What should I expect.? What should I be prepared for.? How am I supposed to face my parents.?

failure is the mother of success.nobody can be successful all his/her life.only meet failure will a person make progress.Don't be so upset ,there's still so opportunities for you to find out.Not only can study led to success.Be happy with life,you'll find there's good thing for you after the failure comes.

hihi...i am also a student and i understand the feeling of working so hard, studying day and night and yet still unable to do well..the feeling is like you have done so much but yet it is all useless.. but i have to say..failure in exams is definitely not the end of your life, not the end of the world..just take it as a lesson learnt.. afterall, failure always comes before success.. dont worry about facing your parents..i am sure your parents can understand that you have tried your best and will not scold you.. and dont be afraid to waste another year..just take it as another experience.. dont worry so much!!

As long as you maintain a good average in school you'll be okay if you fail an exam. Where I'm from I get these special exams for math and english where the government gives you these things that you need to pass so they can determine how good of a student you are and evaluate how you think. Those are the sort of exams I need to worry by butt about. But other exams for a certain class I'm failing is what I must focus on studying weeks before since I know where I stand and what needs to be done. I got a month and a few weeks left till graduation, so success is an option but failure's not. So we all must do something to make sure we're successful rather than 'fail.' School's a place to help you prepare for the world beyond its reach since if you're trying to attain a career, you have to know a certain percentage of knowledge about it. Because nobody wants a brain surgeon who's got a 45% working on them. They want someone with a 85%+ or higher. 77 sounds risky but who knows what future careers are looking for. I'm still in high school so I'm just worrying about chemistry. I'm very strong when it comes to math but as far as I know, my 81% grade average fluctuated because of chemistry and it's the subject that I dislike that is on the last period of my schedule. And my mental state isn't that great when it comes to the nearing of the end of the day since I really want to go home. As for you, start studying weeks before exams, and you'll have no problem with your parents. It's better to study ahead of time while you got the chance to find out what you're having troubles with so the teacher or someone in your class can help you out to help you understand and know what you're going to do to help prepare for the exam. Just be optimistic about things like that and you'll be okay. NO PROCRASTINATING! It will only mess you up. Haha just like what I did last year. :s But it's time for improvement for all who feels like they need to greatly improve so do your work, and get to it. :D
