When I read this I thought of the word "sustain", as in
"sustaining an injury"; depending  on how well prepared one is for an 
exam, one might say (tounge firmly in cheek), "I sustained an exam 
yesterday, but should be fully recovered by the weekend."

That's typically how I felt about Chemistry exams back in my
college days ...
