    Hey there's nothing wrong with that, God wants you to succeed and so do I (and everyone else should too, haha). But I would say be honest, there's no sense lying as that leads to more problems then it's worth. As my great Bible teacher told me, if you have straight A's in that class and you get a C or somehting on the exam there's something wrong with that, and the teacher should take note of it, if not then it's not your fault at all, you know the material, you're good at the class, if there's an exam that you don't do so hot on, then there's something wrong with the exam or the teacher, not you. Be honest, God bless.

    There's nothing wrong with not being perfect. If you usually have good grades then there's going to be a subject you're not perfect at. Good parents will understand that. So tell them you tried you're best.

  • haha i've been there. The best thing to do is to go up to them before it comes and say, "I'm sorry I didn't get the grade that I thought I would. I was really having a bad day and i disappointed myself. I'll retake it if i can, but know that it will never happen again."

    They will respect your self-punishment and honesty
