I can't seem to remember the word you use to mean "in fear of." Anyone?

No... It's more like, "he studied all night, [in fear of] failing the exam."

How about:
"he studied all night, dreading failing the exam."

Oh I got it! It's "lest": He studied the whole night, lest he wouldn't do well on the exam. Thank you for the suggestions guys!
