You're not a idiot, could of been the stress of everything. Everyone learns different and holds info differently. Test not always a great way to shown that you retain info.

You should be proud of yourself - seriously. It is clear that you wanted to pass the test, maybe not the first time, but most likely on the second try, certainly on the third try, and absolutely on the fourth try. You showed up and took the test, again, and again, and again; that shows a lot of strength. I just found the below article, but I have read and sincerely believed the idea for a long time - typically when something takes you longer to learn, you end up learning it a lot more and the knowledge is more durable than if you learned it easily.

One of the main things, that I still struggle with is knowing how to ask for help. What is the test? Have you talked to the professor? Do you have a study group, online or in person to help you? Are there any support resources available to you? In certain cases you may be legally entitled to certain accommodations if you have depression or other disabilities. Keep on showing up and try to learn from what has gone wrong.

Maybe you could consider changing to another career, but you should absolutely not give up on yourself. I recommend passing the test before pursuing another career - then you won't have given hp, but instead strategically chosen a different direction after realizing your prior chosen career was not a good fit for you and your skills.

I took used to fail college exams that I studied for & knew the material. It was the rest anxiety that kicked my ass. My stomach would get quesy, hands sweating, whole body sweating & sweat from my forehead. My stomach was always in knots...until I read a book on test anxiety. Told me to sit in front row-so I did. I saved a seat next to me(empty) & told others it was taken. I asked Jesus to sit in that chair & help support me, tell me I can do it-being the strength I didn't have. Sounds strange but guess what?? I made it thru college with A,s & B,s graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing. You find what works for you & do it. You deserve an education&go for it!!!! Sending hugs!!!

I’m asking this for a specific reason. Do you have a problem with comprehending what you read? Why I ask is my daughter would fail tests in school but like you she knew the answers because I would help her study. When I spoke with her teacher we realized when I read the questions to her she knew the answers but when she would try to read the questions she couldn’t comprehend what she was reading. Maybe that is something you could look into. Add anxiety to that and there you go. Don’t put yourself down. There’s a reason this is happening. Is there someone at the school that can help you sort this out? There’s a reason why this happens, you just need to figure out the reason. Talk to your teacher and any phycologist or therapist available to help you figure it out.

Sometimes we have a fear of success because of our feelings about what we deserve in life.
