Sydney Colombian Spanish Hi, friends Does this make sense and is understable: "How did you fare on your exam?"? I ask because I asked a girl friend from the USA this via speakchat, and then I texted it to her, to which she replied "huh?" Thank you!

Sonoma County CA English (UK then US) It makes sense and is understandable to me, but I am not young. However, the word is likely to be declining in usage and, especially if the person was a young person, they may not have heard anyone ever use it. It remains in use in the salutation "Farewell", but that also sounds a little archaic. "How did you do in your exam" and " 'bye" are far more common versions.

Oregon, USA USA English "Fare" is a perfectly good word, but probably not one used by young people since it's a bit out of date or at least rather stiff. "How did you do on ..." is far more common. Still, if she's a student above grade school, it should not have been a mystery .... (cross-posted with js)

Chicago metro area English-U.S. If this person is in the U.S., it would be "How did you do on​ your exam."

Sydney Colombian Spanish Ohhhhh, that makes perfect sense; she's 15 (but she told me she was turning 16 soon so she must be 16 by now). Thank you very much, guys!!
