Can you help me pass a smog check?

Went to get my car smog checked, but it didn't pass. They guy doing the service was kind of a jerk and wouldn't really explain why it didn't pass. Can you let me know what usually causes a car to fail a smog check and how to fix it? I live in Los Angeles, CA in case that plays any factor in smog regulations. Thank you in advance.
