What to do when you fail an exam

Failing an exam is depressing, but it’s also informative; it tells you what skills you need to learn.

    I'm a slow writer My handwriting can be fast, but it's ugly, so I have to change my handwriting in the hall, and that slows me down. I need to improve my handwriting and its' speed. I'm also terrible at rationalizing. I hyperfocus on one answer. I need to learn to be more rational and less of a perfectionist when it comes to examinations I need to understand that it's okay not to finish a question, or add all the details when there's not much time left. I need to remember to always start with the easiest, low-risk questions and work my way up instead of vice versa. I need to practice time management. I need to understand that exams are a test of width, and not of depth. Thank you for this. I'm often well prepared, but these prove a challenge EVERYTIME I often just get depressed and hate myself

    It sounds like you've done a really good job of analyzing what the issue is, and so many people have a lot of trouble just getting to that point. It does sound like a lot of the issues stem from wanting to write a perfect paper...to sort of sum up what you've said, it sounds like many of your issues would resolve if you could keep in the forefront of your mind that the test you write is not a finished product that you'll necessarily be proud of...it's a snapshot in time, and much of your goal is to make the field of that snapshot as wide and complete as you can, and not worry that it's blurry, the framing is a little off, the composition sucks, etc. Keep after it...it takes time and practice.
