Reframe a Failed Exam as a Diagnostic Tool

You failed the exam and your confidence took the hit with it. This separates the result from your ability, then works out what actually went wrong: knowledge gaps, technique, timing or nerves. The point is to turn the fail into a clear plan rather than a reason to quit. Good for anyone resitting and dreading it.

You have failed {EXAM_OR_ASSESSMENT} and the result is affecting your confidence and your sense of whether you are capable of passing it.

**Reframe the failure as a diagnostic rather than a verdict:**
1. Separate the result from your ability: what does failing this exam actually tell you, and what does it not tell you?
2. Analyse the failure: was it knowledge gaps, exam technique, time management, preparation strategy, or circumstances on the day?
3. Reframe as information: if this result were a diagnostic test of your preparation rather than your intelligence, what would it say your preparation was missing?
4. Design a revised preparation approach: based on the diagnosis, the one most important change for your next attempt
