Learn English – Using the verb “fail” when we are talking about the exam in the immediate future

word-choice

Although I've come across all of them, I think to fail in the exam is better. Thus, the second one is the best choice. However, may be, the last one would be as pretty good as the second.

The exam is tommorow. You haven't practiced at all. You are going to:

  1. fail in the exam.
  2. fail with the exam.
  3. fail the exam.
  4. fail.
  5. fail exam.

Best Answer

You are going to fail the exam.

is the idiomatic version.

You are going to fail.

is fine if it is understood from context what you are going to fail.
