This isn't going to be an answer you will like, but consider it anyway: Take the time to do a little reading up on whatever subject it was you failed the test on.
You might wonder, "Why should I do that? I've already failed the test - it's not like it'll do me any good to study for it now."
Reasons:
(1) The material could conceivably come up again on another test (this depends on what kind of class it is and whether you're going to continue with the subject).
(2) It may be worth learning for its own sake.
(3) There is a chance that you might be able to take a make-up test, especially if you can show the instructor that you have been studying with due diligence (however, if this was a college-level course, then this WON'T be an option).
(4) Your parents may insist that you do this anyway, so you may as well jump the gun.
(5) It beats staring at the walls.
Most Important Reason: Being grounded isn't about giving you motivation to find creative ways to entertain yourself - it's about forcing you to think about what you did wrong. If you actually use that time to try and correct the problem, it shows responsibility and maturity. Your parents will probably recognize this and give you early parole, so to speak.

Dear grounded,
Find a good book, if you have a guitar play it. I also keep a journal and write about my day in it, which keeps me busy for an hour, which sometimes gets me thinking about what is kinda going on in my life. But you could also paint, draw. Holidays are coming up, do some chirstmas shopping or make home made gifts or bake. Your could also pick up knitting or something.

-mix and match clothes you can wear to school
-draw scenaries/pictures and hang it up
-jigsaw puzzle
-do cross-stitch (if you're a girl)
-youtube; you can watch things like "that 70s show", sitcoms etc
-come on more often to advicenators

Books? You could ask to get driven to the library and get out a bunch. I think you'd probably get around the whole grounding thing with that I mean, surely they'd let you read? Or do they just want you to spend your confinement staring at the wall? If you don't like reading, do you have any other artistic interests? Painting, drawing and suchlike. You could stock up on supplies before and get some stuff done that way. You could always ask to be allowed out for a bit as well to exercise- even convicted felons get a run around the prison yard! Other than that, it's kind of up to you to make your own entertainment depending on what you get cut off from.
Last thing, something I used to do. Follow your parents around. Seriously, if you're banned from doing other stuff, stick to them like glue. Talk to them about the most boring things, don't let the conversation die. Eventually they'll get so annoyed with you hanging around they'll FIND something for you to do, or even relent a little bit.
Hope you survive it man!
