Failed first med surg exam :(

[loveSBK]

Hello everyone. This topic is becoming very repetitive and now I understand why. I am taking med surg this semester and is one of the hardest classes I have ever taken (I am a bio major). I studied so hard for this exam and I was not even close to a passing grade. I read the book, did notes, practice questions, studied from different sources, and when I took the test I felt like I did not know anything. I do not have test anxiety and I have done really well so far in the program. 80% of my classmates failed, and we don't know what to do. Our professor does not lecture in class, she only does some case studies on some chapters and the rest of the chapters she posts videos on them online. We cannot ask questions as we are watching these videos so I think that has affected our learning. Our next test is in two weeks and on 12 chapters, and we only meet once a week and only covered 2 chapters so far. What can I do? Please help!!!!

Thank You

Hi. I met with my professor and she always tells me the same thing, read read read, and I have been putting more time into really focusing on the material so I am hoping that i can get a good grade on the next test. Our school had to have a meeting about the high number of students who failed her exam so I dont know what they will do. Also, she uses a test bank and there are rumors going around that the only reason why some students passed is because they have access to those test banks, I dont really care about that, I care about me passing. Thanks for your responses.

Also, I am meeting with a group of friends to study the info

I know people fail often in nursing school but is discouraging to fail the first exam especially after doing so well before in other classes but I am over it and getting ready for the next test

I had that feeling as well... I got a 71% on the first test out of fundamentals.. Ever since then i'm getting 90%+ sometimes its a good kick for you to do better.
