Einstein failed his university entrance exam primarily due to his poor performance in certain subjects, particularly languages and the humanities, which were emphasized in the exam. Despite his exceptional aptitude in mathematics and physics, he struggled with the broader curriculum, leading to his initial rejection. However, he later succeeded in gaining admission to the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, where he thrived in an environment more suited to his interests and talents.

Yes, Albert Einstein did not pass the entrance exam when he first applied to the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich in 1895. He then attended a Swiss cantonal school to prepare for the entrance exam and was eventually admitted to the school in 1896.
No. Einstein never made an F. That is a myth. He was top of his class, however, he did fail an exam that he was supposed to complete in order to get into college. he still got high marks in mathematics and physics.
No. Einstein didn't fail high school, he just quit at 16.
