Test Troubles
Today I got my results back for a science test I took, and I was one of two of the people in the class that failed. At first I didn't take it too hard as I'm not even that good at science, but now it's really starting to upset me. I've told my parents about it and they aren't angry, but I just feel really disappointed in myself for letting them and myself down. I know I can't take it back, but how can I try to be at 'peace' with my mark so to say?
Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thank you for replying 🙂
Today we got the test papers back, but didn't really go through the test. When I get the test back I'm going to try and go through the answers and see where I've gone wrong. I'm also going to try and study more for future tests, as sometimes I'm not the best with studying.
I've understood some places where I've gone wrong, and most of them were mistakes because I was nervous. I'm going to look over my notes a little more as well 🙂
It sounds like you've definitely got a good plan on how to learn from this experience @Bookworm_K236. Those sound like some awesome steps and ways to improve - well done 🙂
I know there are a few fact sheets on studying on RO (like this one) if you're looking for any extra tips, or ask around on the forum. 🙂
Hey @Bookworm_K236.
Sorry to hear about your science test result. It can be pretty disappointing when you don't get the mark you were hoping for and fail a test, so that's understandable that you're feeling upset about it.
What I'd like to suggest, is to see if you can view it as a learning opportunity or a chance to improve, rather than a let down. Everyone can learn from making mistakes and finding out what went wrong and what could be improved. So although you didn't pass the test, you did discover what bits of the curriculum you need to do some more work on, and maybe discovered a bit about the type of pre-test-preparation you might need next time. Did your teacher go through the correct answers, and did you understand where you went wrong? If not, it'd be the perfect opportunity to get some extra help with it to understand the questions/solutions and show yourself, your parents and your teacher that you care about your grades and want to improve.
What do you reckon? Does that sound like something that could work?
