Failing School Tests or University Exams

'Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.'
Confucius

Discovering you have failed a school test (or exam) can feel devastating. Maybe you thought you'd done well, or perhaps you feel as if you couldn't have worked any harder. Maybe you feel that test nerves let you down or you are worrying what you are going to do now.

It's natural of course to feel bad after failing school tests especially if your friends did well but it's vital to keep in mind that you can come back from this.

Test failure

Perhaps you were pinning all your hopes on these exams and feel devastated that you didn't pass. It's important to keep determined and see test failure as just a detour not a road block.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket

You may feel as if your confidence has been shaken by failing tests this time round but you'll find that this session will get you having faith in yourself that you can really move on and do well in the future.

Many people feel depressed when they fail an exam that was important to them. And some people are very black or white and all or nothing in their thinking (which makes them more emotional). So if you'd be feeling something like: 'My whole life is ruined now because I failed this test!' then you have been using black or white thinking.

The fact is that eventual success is going to feel better after initial test failure. When you do pass it's going to be real success. And it's the people who can keep positive (and keep going) after they've had set backs who become the real achievers because they know how to keep on keeping on and getting back into it. Of course the only real failure is giving up to soon.

The way forward

Looking back is fine for people who want to…go backwards.

Whether you decide to re-take your tests or think about other options this time is a great opportunity for you to become stronger than before. Failing School Tests will get you feeling confident and strong, easing away any shock and getting you focused again.
