HOW STUDENTS FAIL EXAMINATIONS

-

          The rate at which students, fail in examination is becoming alarming ; something has to be done about it. But before we can do something about it, we need to know the causes. Let us therefore look at some of them.
           It has been discovered that some students fail because they fail to attend classes. They will leave their homes in the morning pretending to be going to school. They then go to various places where they carry out many activities like Playing computer games, smoking, etc. 

 
Some of them engaging in gambling, betting etc.

        What does a student who does not attend classes will write down in an examination? Such students do not have anything to write down. Eventually they will fail.
         Another thing that accounts for some student's failure in examination is lack of concentration in class. Some students attend classes quite alright but, their minds are not on the lessons being taught. While lessons are not going on, they may be thinking of what games they are going to engage in. They may even be busy in the classroom reading junk. Some will be busy playing one prank or the other.
          Yet, some students who have been quiet serious get to the examination hall and misinterpret questions. This may be Because of poor knowledge of English language. Once the question have been misunderstood, the answers given by such students will be totally wrong.
             There are some students who fail unnecessary because they are afraid. These students get into examination room and they become so upset that they cannot remember what they know. They become so frightened that they are unable to solve problems which, before the examination they could solve very easily. The knowledge of these candidates is not properly tested. They fail because of fear.

To many, it is a dream chased with passion, effort, and countless sleepless nights. Yet, true success is not just about wealth, status, or accolades. It is an emotional journey, deeply personal and shaped by our experiences, struggles, and values. Success begins with a vision—a quiet voice within us that dares to dream. It’s that feeling in your chest when you imagine something greater for yourself, whether it’s a career you’re passionate about, a family you want to build, or a personal mountain you long to climb. That vision fuels motivation and becomes the anchor during difficult times. But success is rarely a straight path. It's filled with detours, disappointments, and moments when you question if you’re good enough or strong enough to keep going. One of the most profound emotions tied to success is fear—not just fear of failu...
