Today I had a university oral exam.
I didn't do very well, but I didn't do too badly either.
When the time came, the professor let me choose whether to pass with a low grade or make me come back the next time.
It was really better for me to pass regardless of the grade, but being the faggot that I am, I told the professor to decide.
He reiterated TWICE that it was my decision, I denied it, he made up his mind, and decided I'd go next time.
Now I'm going home full of regret like a faggot.

What exactly went wrong here? Lack of assertiveness, right?
How do I even train it?
Any similar experiences?

You were indecisive and struggling to make a decision. I can't really blame you here as both options suck, but I've never taken a course where the professor decides that the score I get equals to a pass or fail, they usually give you a score and that score decides whether you pass or fail.

Is there a reason you couldn't re-take the class if you 'passed' with a low grade?

Do you need the grade or do you need the course credit? e.g Do you need to maintain a high GPA for scholarship/med school, or do you just need to pass your courses to graduate with a bachelors and enter the workforce?

kinda this
I didn't clarify this because it's not so much the point of which one was more convenient for me.
I mean, I'm in a position where I need to pass that exam regardless of the grade, but I can take it again in a month and I'll probably do better than now anyway.
The point is that in that second, I wanted to say "yeah, whatever, just pass me," but I was too indecisive and wanted to look good somehow, and I overdid it, and the worst decision was made.
This isn't the first time I've lacked assertiveness; I'd say in thousands of situations, but how do I train it? Is it possible?
