Hello, good people. I am stuck in kind of a trouble and I don't know how to escape it, and it's driving me crazy.
I am a senior, and obviously we have exams, but that's not the main. We pass some draft exams before a real one. And here starts the problem.
It was November and we were passing our first draft exam. I was sick (I fainted twice for no reason and my heart problems started to bother me), but the teacher made me come and write that exam anyway. I honestly don't remember how it all went as I was dizzy and with huge headache. All I remember is that it was horrible. I scored 21%, and it's obviously a fail. But my teacher since then started to tell me that I will fail the real exam, and she didn't believe any of me saying that I was sick. Since that time she is always telling me that I will fail, and she tells that in front of all class. I was trying to ignore everything, but she's also giving me bad marks and tells me that I need to work harder. But the main is that I do work harder.
Well, since that time I cannot even start curing any of my sicknesses, since it involves being not nervous. And this march we were doing second draft exam and this time I scored 50%, which was incredibly high for me, but not for her. I thought she would come down and got off me, but she started all that again. That I won't pass and I do not work at all.
I am really scared of her, she always makes me go nervous and cry afterwards, and the main is that she makes me to give us trying to pass exam. I am lost, I don't know what to do.

In the real exam, isn't the marker someone who does not know you? That's what happens over here to prevent favouritism. If the teacher who is causing you to feel like this does not mark your paper, then you have nothing to worry about. The whole point of draft exams is to make errors, so you know what topics you need to improve for the real exam. And if you are sick and fainted, have you tried talking to a doctor? That's the person you need to go to.

That is cruel of her. I am sorry you are having troubles like that. When I took an exam to get to graduate school, I had a nosebleed in the maths portion and was afraid they would discover I was sick and make me stop the test. I did not do well on that test but many years later, I did fine.

Can you not do well on the test and take the course from someone different next time? My husband did that with French; he took it in Japan from a native Spanish speaker and was all confused so that when they put him in the next level, he just said, "no" and failed it and took it again.

Make your education work for you; learn what you can for yourself and keep working for yourself and eventually you will get to the level you want. Sorry you have to struggle with this teacher though.

I won't see my teacher during real exam, but she is making me lose my hope now and giving me bad marks. That's the problem. And I've been to doctor, and I got there that all I need is just some relaxation, but it's not an argument to my teacher at all

The scariest thing is that if I won't pass the exam I will graduate but not be able to apply to university I want. And there're no things like second chance. Oh, it's so horrible
