Man Fails School Exams on 38th Try

This 73-year-old Indian farmer vowed not to marry before passing his high school exams but he has failed to get through for the 38th time.

Shiv Charan Yadav from Kohari village in Rajasthan state of India has been taking the exams— normally given to school children at the age of 15 —every year since 1969, without success.

He was in his 30s when he first decided to better himself through education.
This year, he failed everything except Sanskrit, scoring only 103 out of a possible 600 points.

He said he found mathematics especially hard, blaming the subject for dragging down his score.

"Once I pass I want to get married to a girl who's under 30," Yadav said.

He is now revising for his 39th attempt next year.
