Reframe Failing An Exam As Useful Information

You failed something and your brain has already turned it into proof you are bad at the subject, or worse. This takes your account of what happened and pulls apart the facts from the catastrophising, then names what actually needs to change. Good for anyone post-exam and spiralling.

**Reframe** the pasted account of the failed exam into a factual, non-catastrophic account of what happened and what it shows.
1. Separate what actually happened (facts) from the interpretation the learner has attached to it (story).
2. Identify one or two concrete, checkable reasons the result likely happened (timing, preparation, question type, nerves).
3. State what the result does and does not prove about the learner's ability.
