Damn. That's kinda why I'm not a fan of exams. People have test anxiety. In a lot of my math classes, some of the smartest people in there can't take tests for shit because of so much test anxiety they have. This person probably had the qualifications to get in but unfortunate that the exam was too big of a hurdle.
