Why failing your exams isn't the end

Career development coach Caroline Down Higgins has invaluable advice if your exam results are not what you'd hoped for.

It's important, she says, to vent about how you feel, and get it out of your system. After that, she says you should remember that all successful people experience defeat on their way to the top.

Caroline says that all the gold Olympic medal winners will have "experienced defeat in their lives".

"Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose," she says, but that doesn't make us a "lesser person".
