I agree with Douglas... I would omit the "in" . I guess there is a little difference in meaning in the two sentences... do native speakers agree with me?

I agree with DOuglas about omitting the �in �. I �d go for:
I failed my final math exam.

"my final math exam" means the last exam I had in math class.

 
"my math final exam" means a major exam at the end of the year, probably comprehensive.
