Reached my limit

By stuckonrepeat - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I received the results of the exams that I re-took in order to improve my grades. I got exactly the same grades as before in all four exams. Point for point identical. FML

I guess that's the grade you really deserved... tough break though. Maybe ask your teacher if you can get extra help outside of class so you can learn the material better for the future.

Yep that will definitely work. In high school I went to my math teachers class EVERYDAY and I passed with an A. I don't know how I did it because I failed every single exam :( sadly that tactic doesn't work for college you can pull that off with a C lols it makes them know you are trying and they will greatly remember you at the end of the semester!

Aw man I bet that never happens, just take the re-sits in the summer again. I got my results too, one was a re-sit, but thankfully I improved by two grades lol. Good luck OP

Why not, oh I don't know, study harder before taking the exams the FIRST time? That way you wouldn't have to suffer the indignity of retaking them and then the injustice of receiving the same grades.

Study harder and youll eventually get it :)

Well it suffices to say that if you still hadn't studied (or studied hard enough) you of course wouldn't know any more than you did in the first place.

O level or A level? If it makes anything better, a lot of my friends have faced the same thing. Don't let it get to you!

Maybe you did worse and the teacher kept the best grade

#27 made a good point. Check the policy of your school regarding retaken exams. If they use the highest grade you got then you most likely did worse than the first time. #29 brings up a good point too.
