The majority of people in my a&p class were taking it their 2nd or 3rd time and still struggling. Hang in there!

Lots of memorizing that's why!! I took A&P 1 twice & left it as a C. But A&P 2 was easier for me got an A. My school had a lab video I didn't know about the first time around, that's what helped. I watched & watched it over & over. Don't get discouraged. Even with my C I still got into a private University Nursing program.

I did not take it twice, but a good percentage of my class was retaking the course because they had all earned Cs or Ds the previous semester, particularly in A&P I. I found A&P II much easier than the first A&P. Don't sweat it! I got a 58 on my first lab practical in A&P I and pulled a B+ in the class.

I took part of A&P twice. The first time around I took the full year. The second time through (about 15 years later) I took just the part that I needed. Needless to say that I did VERY well the 2nd time around. I actually didn't have to take it, but I did anyway just so that I could have a refresher in the subject before going to nursing school. I also found out that the info was well ingrained in me by then.

I took A&P 1 twice. I dropped it the first time because I had a D+ average and i knew i wasnt studying. I had made the classic freshmen mistake and registered for 5 classes. It also didn't help that i had the hardest teacher in the school.

So I took it again the next year. I was more focused on my studying and I had a better teacher. And I ended up getting an A-.

I took A & P I twice. First time got a D next time got a C. A & P II was much easier got an A the first time. Keep pushing you can do it.

Remember 1 exam will not make or break your grade. Now you know what you have to do, wether it's study more or find a different way to study. I had to take A&P 1 3 times. A&P 2 times. I dropped A&P 1 twice and A&P 2 once. Good luck.

I finished the class with a C. I am not looking forward to taking it again, but I will have to. Oh well, it is what it is..... I should not have taken 9 credits in a short summer semester. Live and learn.

I retook A & P 1 once. It was the only pre req I retook & I kicked butt in the rest of my pre reqs. Although my GPA only calculated my grade from the second time, I still hate having that first grade on my transcript. Just make an A the next time around & do well in your other courses.
