EDIT: I FUCKING PASSED THE COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just come home from a 4 h. long open book exam in advanced organic chemistry...and love and behold, I think I have failed it.

I have never ever failed any exam in my life including the 32 exams i have taken in the last 4 years at the university, but after looking through the solution for this exam I am pretty sure I have failed it. If I am really really lucky then I may get a 2 (the lowest passing grade in Denmark), but I don't think that i will....I will get the answer in about a month or so!!

I have no idea what the hell went wrong, I just fucked up i guess. Anyway if I have failed it, the reexamination is in august, sigh.

Have you ever failed anything?

To show what kinda of course I failed I will give an example from the exam:

One of four problems:

Construct molecule A from 3-carbon skeletons. Show the mechanism for C to D

And explain how to make B into C.

Nope, too clever.

Lowest probably a D at GCSE citizenship (still a pass)

I took Maths and Physics modules this month for AS and pretty confident of 90%+ results on both.

Exams arn`t the most important thing in life. The worst thing you can do is worry about it, just be happy that you done your best .

Are you actually old enough to have taken any exams?

meh failure is only said when you quit. i have failed chemistry (in college) two times but more determined to pass on the third try and I did.
What ever you do, don't let this set-back hang over your head.

I failed my Managerial Economics module last year so I'm resitting it this year, (had my semester 1 exam yesterday, think it went ok).

It means I'm ending up at uni for an extra year, but what the hell, it aint the end of the world if you do fail it.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Dude it is advanced organic chemistry at a master level, and the questions is (of course i guess) no where in the curriculum (which is 1500 pages) ...it ain't easy you know....but yeah I normally do quit well in exam like this.

Edit: I can post the problems and the solution if you want to see them

wow, nice education. My sister had a cirriculum like that once and damn she hated it-lol

if you fail then you will nail it at august. I think its quite easy to fuck up at such an advanced level.

I hope so....but I have enough self-awareness to know I will never ace it....But if I fail I will of course try to do a lot better

I failed one class in my undergrad, but retook it and got a high B.

It happens. What is important is how you recover from it, not that it happened.

Failed a few things, I probably could of done them if I could be assed.

Story of my life. I won't lose any sleep over it though, you only live once. And the 5 years I spent at school pissing about and having a laugh were great at times.
