&lt;p&gt;A: How was the test?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B: If I had not studied last night, I would have flunked this course. Hopefully, I won&amp;#39;t have to retake it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the third conditional here suggest, he studied last night, he didn&amp;#39;t flunk/ he passed the course?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
