The term is commonly used in an educational context, particularly in schools, colleges, and universities. It highlights a lack of achievement or proficiency in a specific subject or academic pursuit. Flunked often denotes an unsuccessful outcome or result, indicating that the individual has not demonstrated proficiency or comprehension of the material being assessed.
