To make story short, I had only A's in my AP. Everything has changed last week when I got C. But it wasn't enough...I failed test yesterday :cry: I am sad and depressed. I studied so hard; I have no idea what is happening! My A is slipping away.... If I want to get an A in this class, I have to do well on the last 3 tests and I HAVE to take cumulative exam! (I wouldn't have to, if I would do well on all test)

I am taking math and English class; I do not have to spend to much time studying for those class because they are easy. I do not work and I do not have to worry about anything, AND my husband supports me with all his heart. And still, something is going in wrong direction. My husband says, that I have taken too much; I had surgery December last year and I am still recovering. But this is not excuse!

I don't think that I need to improve my studying habits. I work hard and never look back, but I don't have idea what is going wrong :banghead: Everything was ok till last week...

Review nightly, starting from day one.. this will make the comp exam easier. Study nightly so you can rest well before the test and not have to cram.

You must keep it all fresh, and that goes the same for after you finish the course.. it all resurfaces in nursing!

Check with your professor to see if they offer tutoring at your school.

At my community college, they have "open lab" times and also an "open tutoring" session available -- all for free!

Another thing would be to talk to your professor if there's something you just don't understand. It's all cumulative, so if you don't understand the first part of the process, you won't understand the next process that you're being taught.

Also, I recommend sitting in the front row of the class if you can. And ask questions during the lecture if something doesn't make sense.

Hang in there!
