What do I do if I fail the exam?


1. Never give up. A quitter never wins, a winner never quits. Accept the result with an open heart. Cry if you need to as it will help to reduce you burden of frustration.

2. Get to work. Learn from exam. Analyse your areas of weakness and take steps to overcome them. Make an appointment to see the lecturer of subject and get advice. If possible, try to ask for remedial classes from him or her.

3. Identify friends who fail the same exam and make plans to discuss the subject in the group to ensure that you have a good support mentally and academically.

4. Identify your not-so-good habits that lead to the failure. Do not hesitate to ask opinions from close friends. Correct these habits.

5. Identify the time wasters that lead to reduction in your studying time. Do not repeat these time-wasting habits and avoid time-wasting activities.

6. Get your parents to pray for you. Increase your submission to God and do more God-favoured activities.

7. For the Muslims, try to increase the quality of your prayer in terms of promptness and doing it in a group (jamaah).

8. Avoid missing lectures in your effort of trying to study in the library for the repeat exam. Missing a single lecture will take hours of study to acquire the same knowledge.

9. Involve more in discussions and practice more past year  questions in order to increase your Output Learning.

10. Have a healthy mindset towards failing an exam. It is not a failure but  a delayed success. You will get more knowledge of the subject that you have to repeat.

Some of my friends became specialists in the field that they failed badly during medical school because the more they studied for the repeat paper, the more interested they were in the subject.
