Resumo: Failure in the Biology and Geology exam in Portugal is very high and has significant impacts on further studies. This qualitative research aimed to investigate: 1) the perceptions of teachers about the causes of failure in the exam as a function of gender; 2) opinions about the test characteristics; 3) measures to promote success. Data were collected through semi-directed interviews with 15 teachers who attribute the failure to the exam itself, its characteristics and students’ difficulties. To promote success, they suggest measures such as: reducing the subject syllabus and adapting the level of difficulty of the test to the students’ capacity. Male teachers seem to be more concerned about boys’ failure.

Esta investigación cualitativa pretendió averiguar: 1) percepciones de los docentes sobre las causas de fracaso en los exámenes en función del sexo; 2) opiniones sobre las características de la prueba; 3) medidas que promueven el éxito. Los datos se obtuvieron a través de una entrevista semidirigida a 15 profesores que atribuyen el fracaso al hecho de que exista un examen, a sus características y a dificultades de los alumnos. Para promover el éxito, sugieren: reducción del programa de la asignatura y adecuación del grado de dificultad de la prueba a los alumnos.
