Passing German

So is this just an awful view of God or is there some truth in this logic? My identity has always consisted, to some extent, in my success academically. At least I was good at school. So here I am taking the hardest test I have ever had to take translating German philosophy tests into English. I mean people who are fluent in both languages have trouble with this task, and me the girl who only pretends to have a handle on a bit of Spanish is trying to learn how to interpret complicated German grammar in philosophy and theology texts. There is a reason a lot of old Philosophy tests are written in German. The Germans know how to convolute even the simplest of sentences! So without further explanation as to why it is justified for me to fail, would God allow me to fail to teach me that my value is not based on academic success? Please God, don't let me fail it. I understand if you do though.
