How do you Fail an Open Book Test?

I don't understand how some people can even fail an open book test.  Yes, there are lots of reasons out there.  Comprehension "maybe" one of them.  With this group of students on this last course, I can make any number of guesses. 

Out of the 6 that failed, one person changed his answer on several questions.  He got it right the first time on all of them.  Never doubt yourself unless you know for a fact that answer is not correct.  Especially, on an open book test.  The answers are in the book.  You just have to literally READ.  When you do that.  You'll definitely find the answer. 

The other five, in my opinion, only one of them actually tried his best.  He passed today.  The next four, they have a serious attitude issue.  They didn't care to be here.  Out of that four, two passed.  Only two failed from the original six that didn't pass the first time, on this retest. 

One of the two was reeking of alcohol.  I'm flabbergasted at this individual.  One of the safety topics touched on drugs and alcohol in the workplace on the first day of this course.  This individual has the audacity to come into my training room smelling of alcohol.  This is the last time, that will ever happen.  I am recommending that our training company recommends to our client, that they release him. 

The other individual, may have comprehension issues.  I'm not sure quite yet on him.  I'm learning towards attitude on this guy as well.  We'll see when he returns this Saturday for another make-up.  Hopefully, these next couple of days and pressure from his company, our client, will "encourage" him to read his materials that came with the course. 

On a good note.  The four student/workers that passed the first day did well.  Out of that four, I have recommended the top two, they're from the same company, return for the OSHA 30 hour Construction Hazard Recognition Safety Course.  I am hoping that their company will take our recommendations regarding the two student/workers and sends them back for more Safety Training.
