      not at all..exams are meant for people to pass, not fail. Very Happy if u fail, its just ur fault for not studying/well-prepared. its definitely not stupid.

      1) Know yourself. Find ways to exploit the capability of your brain. For example mind-mapping

      2) Find out ways to improve your study techniques.

      One is definitely not stupid if one fails exams. There are many forms and types of intelligence. You probably good at one.

      Stupid means stupid, you don't need people from here to comfort and lie to you. Just fail and get over it.

      actually horr..it doesn’t matter if you fail exam.. what matter is whether what kind of rice bowl you can get in the future.

      No, it just means you’re good at doing exams. Top scorers of examinations = masters of memorization and regurgitation.

      At least the GCSEs felt that way to me. I've had enough of engineering during my poly days sooooo.

      stupid is an act

      You are stupid if you didn't give it all you got to get prepared for the exams....

      But in the worst case scenario like me, then you're not stupid, but i passed lah......

      For some reason, Mind maps don't work for me.. normally, i must really understand the concept then exam no problem.

      If I call you stupid after you fail exams, I must be really stupid.

      Ever since when exams gauge one's abilities.

      Exams don't, reality does.

      well, we pick up after that. Those scholars and all are merely exam smart. Nothing impresive about them. Street smart, high EQ, and strong inter-personal skills are vital to climbing up the corporate ladder.
