Failing exams...?

[Morgoth]

I failed my driving test once. Only thing I've ever failed.

I 'failed' a couple of exams at uni (due to lack of effort) but didn't have to resit them. Don't think I've ever failed a resit.....

I'd like to think I wouldn't fail the same exam twice because it would annoy me so much if I did.

You need to learn how to learn.
It's probably the most important thing a student needs to do, there's no point in reading 1000 words if you don't take it in.
Personally I can't revise unless I do questions, which is why I sucked at essay subjects as I never really knew how to answer them.

It does knock you down a few pegs, but the key is not to give up, come back fighting, I am dredding getting deeper in to my CCENT/CCNA, as its so in depth , CCENT is ok, but CCNA looks killer.

Once walked out of a 2hr exam after 40 minutes, knew I'd failed.

Got a pretty high mark second time around though!

I don't know how I have not failed more exams than I have.

My handwriting is fairly poor to begin with and after about an hour of writing I start to get cramps in my hand and wrist, then the quality of my handwriting gets really bad, to the point where even I struggle to read parts of it.

Are there any courses available for this? Do you get feedback on the exams so you can see where you went wrong, even if it's just in general terms? Can HP help with material? It seems odd to have an exam but little to no supporting material - effectively that would just be a licence to charge people for something until they get it right almost by chance.

Need to check this out, not a priority now though as I've got some work in Guernsey to attend to!

The only thing I've really failed at is Maths GCSE and Core 1, to pass, I just worked, worked and worked. Sadly, that's all there is to it
