I am currently in my final year of law school. I remember in my first year that I had failed a course and I reviewed the course but I was unsuccessful. Then I had to do the supplemental exam and again I failed the course. I just found it strange because that was the first time I felt so confused in an examination. Anyway after failing the course, I cried and cried because I knew what happened while I was writing the examination. I did 4 questions and only 2 of my responses was correct. I can recall after writing the examination that I prayed and prayed and I asked God to help me pass but some where within I was doubting him. When my supplemental results came out I was so angry that stopped praying to God and I stopped having because I failed despite praying to God. I said that the grade was out so there’s nothing else to be done. I told my mom that I failed and I’ll have to redo it in my second year of law school. Of course she was disappointed in me.
About three days after the results came out I was browsing the net and I decided to check my email. I did and I saw a message from the school. They had sent the amended date to submit reviews for the supplemental examination that people failed. I was in shock because I didn’t know that I could have reviewed my paper. However, I started doubting myself and I said that maybe I shouldn’t review it because people are never successful in reviews but then there was this voice in my head telling me to do it. So I did.
Fast Forward, school reopened and I heard nothing on the review that I did. However, I saw that I was trailing the course I failed so that meant that I had to do an additional course in my second year. Moreover, the fact that they did not respond to my request for review combined with the fact that they told me that I was trailing the course I failed meant that I was not successful in my review. Like a normal person, I carried on my life knowing that people fail. I went on knowing that I am such a disappointment to myself and God and my mother. Most nights I cried bitter tears for the failed course. I never stopped crying and promising to do better in my second and final year of law school.
Late October I received an email from my school stating that they reviewed the course and that I passed the course I failed. How? ( I was praying for a miracle) I was expecting to fail because I answered 4 questions. I was required to answer 5 questions. Out of the 4 questions I answered, only 2 was correct and at my school I need 3 correct responses to pass. Let me tell you how I passed.
By trusting in God. I had given up hope but God was preparing me for a miracle instead. I had accepted my failure and decided to move on and be better in my second year of law school but behind my back he was working in my life.
My brothers and sisters God is always there, he wouldn’t come through right away but he will always be right on time. He will be right on time because he does not want to see you suffer. I wouldn’t advise anyone to do what I did. Don’t doubt God. Pray and believe because only with faith you can move mountains.
I hope my testimony is a blessing onto others.
I’m currently in my second and final year of law school and all my exams were hard, I just want to pass so like last year I’m asking God for a miracle. I don’t know what I will do if I fail. I would be ashamed and I wouldn’t want my dad to take more money from the bank to send me to school again. This is my last lap at law school and after this I’m done with school so I am praying that God hears my pray and answer them. I declare success in Jesus name.
I know that many of you have examinations around this time so I pray that God will be with you and if you’re having a hard time just pray to God for guidance during your examinations. I declare that the examinations will be in your favor and I declare success for each and everyone of you writing exams in Jesus name. Amen
Ana, thank you very much for sharing your testimony. Our lord is wonderful. Hey can turn impossible to possible. Nothing is hard for him. Oh praise to the wonderful God. I was like you too. I failed my essay and I was feeling like a failure. I had the second essay (hurdle) , I was stressed and depressed a lot to the point where I couldn’t eat properly . It was overwhelming . But guess what, I turned to our father God. The creator and the life giver. I said to him God, I have done my part and I will leave the rest to you. I pray and fast (No food or fluid for 12 hours). I just wanted at least pass b/c I. Knew I was running out of time when I was doing the essay and I knew I didn’t do well. Praise to the almighty God, I got the results today and I passed. Not a good grade but I pass the hurdle essay. Please I have exam coming soon and it’s a hurdle exam. I need all your prayers brothers and sisters. May our lord Jesus bless you all my brothers and sisters in Jesus alright name Amen.
Good luck with your examination and I pray that God will guide you throughout your examinations.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am a middle aged person and I decided to go back to school to get a career. I am presently studying biology and it’s a very difficult course. I prayed and prayed for God to help me pass an exam I took recently. Unfortunately, it did not go well. There’s another test coming up this Tuesday. Please pray for me to pass it and pass the course by the end of the semester. Thank you. God bless.
I hope that all went well with your exams Lidia.
Hello, this is is a very reassuring testimony and I’m glad it worked out for you in the end 🙂 I’m currently going through A level exams and although I’m trusting in God to guide me to the right topics in my revision, there is a good chance I will do badly I feel. Its got to the point now where I’m simply praying, landing on a page in my textbooks and hoping it will come up. I’m trying to learn how to maintain faith whether or not I pass, but I would be very upset if I got bad grades as I was hoping to get into a high university. Do you have any advice for keeping faith, and how do cope in the face of failure?
Hey lefide firstly i will tell you to not allow anyone to tell you that God cannot help you or work any miracle for you because you and i both know he can.
Your faith has to remain untouched and you need to believe that God will help you pass your A levels.
I usually speak in the present tense so I don’t say IF I PASS I usually say I WILL PASS in Jesus name. That’s what you called having faith. Believe it and declare it. You can also put up signs around your room saying that you will pass your exams in Jesus name. It can steer you away from negative thoughts. You can put up scriptures around your room also.. You need to also thank God for all the things he has done for you and believe that you will receive the miracle.
Failures happen some people feel like committing suicide, some cry all the time, some feel ashamed, disappointed , they regret their decision to go study instead of working. You usually have this ball of emotions waiting to explore. God does not want to see us fail but if failure happens the best thing to do is try again. Sometimes our circumstances may not permit us to try again. Failure will break your heart trust me. You’ll cry all the time and you’ll feel sorry for yourself but YOU CANNOT GIVE UP. YOU EITHER TRY AGAIN IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO AND ASK GOD TO LEAD YOU OR TRY ANOTHER PATH IF YOU FEEL THE PREVIOUS PATH YOU CHOSE WAS NOT FOR YOU.
I have a cousin who failed all her A levels examinations. We call it Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE). She wants to become a doctor but if she had passed all her examination she could have got accepted into the medical faculty at the University immediately. What did she do after failing? She chose another path.
Persons who have a degree or a diploma in biology from the University can get admitted into the medical faculty so she decided that she’ll do a diploma or degree in bio. I can’t remember exactly what she’s doing but at the moment she recently completed her first year so once she’s finished she can still get admitted into the medical faculty to study medicine. So my advise to you is don’t give up. Please don’t think about failure. I know those thoughts may come to mind but don’t let it get to you. Have faith and God will do the rest. I wish you all the best.
I am writing this and I am scared, I just finished writing my law exam,of a class I’m repeating. I really cannot afford to repeat this module again please pray for me,I feel as though I’m looking control of my academics and my faith as well, I really need to pass this exam.
Hi Didi, I trust that you were able to conquer your law exams in the name of Jesus. I am sorry for the late response. Please let me know how the exam was.
I am writing my CPA exam and it’s my last attempt – I need prayer that God would give me success over this exam and the last 5 years of my life were not completely wasted. I feel like this exam has shattered my faith in Gods ability or willingness to affect circumstances in my life. Please pray for me.
Grant
I totally understand how you feel Grant.
What i need you to know is that you should not let your disappointments keep you down. The moment you are discouraged and shattered the devil rejoices. Do we want that? No way, we don’t therefore you need to TELL SATAN THAT YOU WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN. Rebuke him and tell him that the blood of Jesus is against him.
RISE UP IN FAITH GRANT.
I need you to sit your CPA exam with faith and i want you to believe that God will guide you through the exam and help you pass. YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM.
Be Brave and think positive because he is with you. God bless you.
