How do you cope when failing a math test =/?

When you failed as much as I do, you tend to get a little humble in your failure.

When I failed my first exam I got roaring drunk, but I wouldn't recommend it. Didn't help me at all... One exam dosen't really matter, just pass the next one.

Thanks to all of your answers and tips that helped me a lot.

I had a new examn today which was worth 20% of the final note and i feel it went pretty well. Hope they give the result in the coming days.

Hey guys how you cope when a failing a test in math? (if you ever failed one in college engineering).

I just had my 1st exam about Integrals and U substitution. Of the 4 problems 2 were good
but the other 2 where almost in my hands but failed for some details or made a totally dumb algebraic and atention mistake. When I arrived home made the 2 problems like 10 times to never forget the mistake =/.

What sucks the most is that i knew the theory how to make them but in the moment of truth they didnt came to my mind!

Also any tip whe dealing with nervs in the exams? I am having some lately.

So I am getting a 40%-50% which totally sucks. The exam is 10% of the final note. But if I keep making mistakes like that I am going to end to be a mediocre engineer.

So any tips or your personal experience if you ever failed a test?.

I think that most of us failed some test [including myself], as people mentioned before me the most important is not to give up!

I'm sure you will do well, just keep working hard!
