How to be always pleased with you're exam results.

I always think that when you take exams you should always reconcile yourself to failure before the results come out. That way if you fail you won't be disappointed, and if you pass you'll be chuffed, regardless of the mark. Of course you also need to prepare everyone else aswell, particularly your teachers, parents, and grandparents. So if anyone asks how you did you need to say, "awful", then you go on to explain how that you didn't revise what the questions were on and how you're sure that you didn't get long enough in the exam or some other true explanation of why you might do rubbish even though it wasn't your fault. Then they will expect you to fail and wont be disappointed when you tell them you have later.

I agree with you. The problem is that after a few exam sessions ones closer family stop believing ones professions of failure and come to expect more. Of course the best method is to revise the relevant material and then no reconciliations to failure should be necessary.
