If you don't pass a test, it can feel like the end of the world. Sometimes we feel like we've failed and give up hope that we'll ever do well. But a bad grade doesn't say anything about who you are or how smart you are. It just means you might need a little more help and direction.
If you do poorly on an exam, it's normal to feel upset and want to give up. It's even fine to feel like this. But don't stay stuck in that way of thinking. Don't forget that there are no tests that will kill you if you fail them. If you didn't do well on an exam, you can keep moving forward by figuring out why and what you need to do to do better next time. Then, you can take the right steps to make it happen.
In the meantime, do something fun that makes you feel better right after you fail a test. Walk through the woods, ride your bike, or go to the movies. Do what makes you feel better and more like yourself.
When it's time to go back and figure out why you failed, don’t fall into the trap of blaming. Some people start to blame teachers, the test, or other things they they feel made them get a failing score. Even if some of these instances did have a negative effect on you, the most important truth is that you need to figure out what you did wrong and how you can change it. You might need to study theory more or practice in a different way, for example. Reviewing and studying your theory more will only help you build a strong foundation for improving your skills.
If you know why something is wrong, you can fix it. But just deciding to fix it isn't enough. You'll have to make a plan for how to do this. Remember that you need to do something different than what you did before you failed the exam. To fix it, you should try something new. You could check out the Test Audio Bundles in the Mindful Audio Focus digital store as one way to do this. These tests are designed to mimic realtime tests, (at a fraction of the cost), and the more you do, the more experience you will get which will also help you conquer those nerves.
If you fail an exam, you might feel like you're not good enough, and you might be afraid to ask for help from other people. You might feel hesitant to reach out to these individuals because you view them as a success, and you do not want to be seen as a failure in their eyes. But these are exactly the people you should seek out and ask for advice because they can be your role model and source of inspiration. You can look at what they did to help them get where they are and try it out to see if it works for you. Don't be shy about asking them for help. When you get a bad grade, you never know what they can do to help you get back on your feet. There will always be someone who knows more than you and can help you, whether you are studying for a test or obtaining a new license.
Remember as I stated before, failing an exam won't kill you. You might have to pay for another exam fee or spend more time on it, but almost always there is a way to do it again and get better at it. There's always something to learn from failure, and if you learn from it, you'll be ready for more success than you ever thought possible.
