Self-Motivation: Bouncing Back From Failure

Moving Forward After Failing an Exam

Topic:

I failed an exam — I feel like a failure.

Philosophical:

How did I get myself in to this situation? How do I handle this?

Practical Tips:

Did I study enough or did I wing it? Was I over-confident? Did I underestimate the difficulty? Crammed last minute? Probably all the above.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts” — Winston Churchill

Moving Forward:

• Be disappointed — grieve it out.
• Don’t panic, take a break.
• Get help from your advisor, friends or get a study guide.
• Set up a study schedule.
• Know what you did wrong, learn the material thoroughly.
• Take the test again.

If you are facing a similar situation, I hope these tips help make your day better. 😊🌻
