The 2nd time I only studied about 5 days before my exam day even though I had 6 months and I didn't even think that I would pass. Also the topics were much more harder and I remember that I had wrote all kinds of bullsh!t in my writings but I still got sth like 11 or 12%(out of 20). However I passed with A or A- in the use of english part so perhaps that's why I succeeded this time.

I guess we have very different school systems, in Belgium, in the ASO, you have 4 periods with your points of small tests of the matter, tasks etc. Then we have 2 exam periods, one in december and one in july. You should have more than 50% on all your courses (French, maths, etc) and if you don't the teachers will discuss if they let you pass or let you change direction (not sure if this is the correct word, I mean if you fail economics, they will ask yu to follow a direction without economics). Or if your grades are to bad you have to do your year again.
