40/48 people failed exam

Hello. I am currently a nursing student. I recently discovered that 43/48 people in my nursing class failed an exam. I know for a fact that the majority of these students studied extreamly hard for this particular exam and knew the reading material inside and out. After the exam there was much frusteration, confusion, and anger felt in the class. The reason for the high failure rate was due to the subjective nature of the exam along with non-correlating information between the exam and the objectives. Does anyone out there have any idea of what we as students should do?

Thanks. I am in the first semester of a BSN program. I am a second degree student and I took two Psych. classes in college previously. That was over 10 years ago. So I have not had the basic Psych. stuff in years. I have a general knowledge of it but I could not give you details. All my old credits transferred in and I am slated to take Psych. 311 this summer. That's Developmental Psych. I am guessing I would get the Maslow info. there.

As far as costs go, it will cost me around $80,000 if I stay at the school vs. $11,000 for the diploma program down the road. I already have a degree so I am guessing getting the BSN may not really be all that important since I already have a degree. Not sure how all that would work out. Having the other degree and a diploma might work out just fine.
