The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't get overly worried.

3It means exactly what it says: the world, the universe, your life keeps on going after you fail.– StoneyB on hiatusCommented Dec 4, 2015 at 15:23

1I believe it exactly means what it's supposed to mean. What confuses you?– M.A.R.Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 15:23

3It has the same meaning as it’s not the end of the world. It is "used for saying that something bad is not really as serious as someone thinks it is".– Damkerng T.Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 16:02

The phrase "the world won't end" (usually followed by something like "if X occurs") means that whatever happened didn't matter all that much. That it is not as important as it may seem at first.
Because the world will not end because of it. A similar phrase is "life will go on".
"Won't" is a contraction of "will not".
The world will not end if you don't pass a test, so do not get overly worried.
The world is not going to end anyway, don't stress !

According to YviDe, I understand the meaning of the clause" The world won't end" as "Your life won't end".– yethuCommented Dec 5, 2015 at 6:27
