What do you want to say? An easy exam? A lazy student?

A composition can be called 'weak' (insufficient) or 'poor' if it doesn't meet all the requirements. Likewise, you can get 'poor' test results; they can also be called 'borderline', 'barely passing' or 'low'.

Está flojo en las matemáticas. = He's weak in math. (AmE)

Do you mean an exam could be 'poor'?
