Jesus christ, failing an open book exam? 

Did you have the right book?

Not at uni?
Open book is just an excuse to make the exams fucking impossible. If you don't know your shit having a book there is not going to help.

As for failing, I've never failed anything I've attended. Though there have been some times when I just haven't turned up :s

You fail at life, Jensen..

JOKES love you really..

Umm, I missed my General P.E exam today, so I'm pretty sure I missed that.
Also, Credit Chemistry was a bitch.

I'm in 4th year doing Stanard Grades/GCSE's

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.

ENJOY

dude thats delicious, i just started organic chemistry and this is what we're working on, it's so much fun... though i'm only in high school so it's a lot easier

Yeah I loved organic chemistry back at high school level...heck I loved it at uni as well....but this exam was just hard, because there was so many things you had to keep in mind, so many possible ways to do each step, but only one that is truly correct because the others would not be the major product or they will include side reactions.

But I just fell so bad doing so poorly on an exam....it sucks

Sounds like my physics. I failed a year twice, it sucks but you'll get over it anyway. You haven't failed anything yet so it isn't that much to worry about, go and have some fun and don't be too sad about it ; better luck next time :0

cheers m8....I know I shouldn't be so sad about it, and heck I don't even know for sure that I have failed yet....but a reexamination just fucks everything up...it will fuck up my trip to the states, it will fuck up my employment at the university it will fuck my summer lol.

man i haven't just straight up failed that many tests, i have gotten my share of "deficients" but i still came out of last semester with a 3.5

I got a 33% on a Chinese exam in middle school (that's when I switched into Spanish.. no regrets) and I'm pretty certain I came close to failing my history exam last week.

War Caliph failing history?! In MY Soviet US&A?

This is unacceptable, comrade commissar.




I will walk out the door now.

Tbh I was fucking stupid when I signed up for this year.

I chose physics, natural sciences, maths B1 (second to hardest) and all that kinda crap while I could've just taken History, Geography and all the laid back subjects which I could revise a day before the test and still pass.

I suck at deciding what to do in school, wish I could turn back 7 months and stop myself from being so stupid. It's extremely hard, and especially because I'm a lazy fuck and hardly keep up with my schoolwork, so I phail at exact subjects like the ones I chose. dayum.

Heh, don't worry about failing an exam... it's not that big a deal.
I failed loads of stuff in my life. I started out studying Advanced Technology, but then I failed at everything. EVERYTHING. No wait, I passed one of the courses. So what. I switched to something else. I still fail shit sometimes but that's mostly because I just can't be arsed to give a fuck. When it really matters, I always pass. But most of the time I just go 'meh', don't study at all and barely pass. In fact, I should be studying right now. Instead, I'm going to play some Oblivion. Yeh.

I guess my problem is that I just can't take school seriously. I've got better stuff to do than focus on my education. I just don't care.

Pft, I couldn't even fail any classes if I tried now.. B's in both of them, I'm happy with that.

I'm done, I did my final project for my Law 12 class today, worth 20 % of my grade.

Done History 12, I have the choice if I want to write a Provincial Exam worth 40 %, but I don't need it for my post-secondary school, so I'm not taking it.

So while one half of my class was studying for the Prov Exam, me, and the other half of the class was doing jack shit, I just ended up listening to music, drawing and playing cards the whole class..

So I've got to sit around listening to the remaining students projects in Law, and then do shit all in History until Friday.. Then I get a 1 week semester break..  Woot!

And then I'm taking Geography 12, English 12 (I fucking hate English, I'm horrible at it.).. Automotive 12, I do jack shit in that class and still get 90 % because the teacher loves me.. and Entrepreneurship 12.. All easy classes for me except English..



I've never failed a class before, Although I barely squeezed by with a Pass in French 11 and Math 11.. So glad those courses are over and done with.



Time well spent in History today.. I'm very Artistic, can't you tell? /sarcasm





And just so everyone knows, Bob is the name of my truck, shitty old 83 Ford Ranger.. I'm 17, give me a break
