Thank you ver much.

Is the use of 'from' wrong or just not as good?

Also, would the sentence be also correct without 'on' (I passed the exam the first time)?

I see. So is 'from' wrong or not as good as 'on'?

Clivefrom is wrong.
Thank you very much.

Also would this be correct: I passed the exam (on) the first time I took it.

I think (on) is not required or wrong here, am I correct?
