OH MY GOD, I just passed all my exams:D!!
 
The only time I've failed was in the third grade and the subject was Arabic. I always get above seventy out of hundred in all subjects.
 
I've only ever failed Geometry in 10th grade. We have State Regents Exams in NY, which are the actual important tests. I had a 75 in the class (that's a C for those that don't use numbers) all year and he was prepping, explaining, and hammering into our heads "REGENTS REGENTS REGENTS".

..Well, the regents Math A exam was easy, I got a 90%. However, he of course failed to mention until the week before we'd be having a regular final in addition, which was ten times harder and just geometry, unlike the Regents which was Algebra/Geo mixed. I got like...I don't even know, a 32%? Eight kids out of twenty in our class failed, the rest got C's except for one girl. Nice preparation, teach.

Haha, I'm not entirely blaming him, but really, one week before a giant test like that? Review sheets much? I went to the worst two months of my life (summer school), aced it, and went on with Junior year, but really..bleh. Otherwise, my normal HS grades we're always Bs and As except Pre-Calculus.
 
I've only ever failed one subject. That was Methods, just this semester. I went to like 2 weeks of class and then stopped going...:S Just went to movies, shopping, home and stuff whenever I had methods. Twas good, until my parents found out...
Although they didn't get called until after the last methods exam ._. Stupid teacher didn't even report me to the coordinators.
Year 11 was the biggest bludge ._. (For me :3)
 
I failed near enough all of my Exams two years ago. I didn't pay attention properly and messed about. Was stupid of me and left me with my only option being to repeat a year, which I did and passed easily.
 
I failed like three courses last term. :] I had a fair few health issues coupled with the fact that I didn't really bother fixing my sleep schedule and I missed a few assignments and... it all kind of snowballed and I ended up failing my exams (or not getting high enough on my exams to pass). So I've gotta retake some stuff this term. :/

...I think this is the first time I failed a subject. I came close to it with a 55% in grade 11 but that was entirely the teacher's fault. <_< I got like 80-something when I retook it in night school.

Don't worry, I'll be failing all my finals as well X(

I swear, they give you one weekend and expect you to be solid on information from four courses. Yeah, I'm not even close to that. I have bio and chem today, then history tomorrow, for which I still have to read half of my text book. Oi =(
 
My exams were pretty stretched out but I burnt myself out studying for the first one (which I failed) and was subsequently not really in the mood to study hard for the other ones. I need to learn to not cram anyway though... XD
 
Cramming is the absolute worst way of studying, and yet it's the method that people use most =P

Well, over the course of the weekend I read every chapter I needed to know for bio, which will end up helping alot. Chem I've done decently well on all year, so I didn't put as much work into that. I hope I can at least pass both of them =/
 
I'm getting them in February this year. This Christmas I'll just have to finish four team works. And my classmates keep thinking that 9 AM is the best time to do them ;_;

True that. I have English and Science exams tomorrow and I've decided to test the art of cramming for once.

I think I'll fail >.>

Better than doing nothing at all, right? XD

I'm sure you'll be fine. Cramming does actually work for some people.
 
Not studying at all works for me. =D

I've never failed an exam, and with that I've never extensively studied for one either. I don't need to; the information stays locked away in my brain, so when I see the question on the page, the knowledge is there. I don't need to read over notes. =D

Well some of us aren't geniuses, like you! >=/

No, I agree actually. In high school I barely studied at all because the information was pretty easy and in small quantities as well. Not so in college...It's like taking advanced courses in high school with double the information. Not studying for my exams would be begging for an F =P
 
It's when you leave all your studying to the last day or so and then try to "cram" all the information into your head before the exam. Normally you're supposed to study bit-by-bit everyday and learn it normally instead of trying to learn too much in too little time.
