Didn't do as good as I hoped..

Published

Test 1: 55% (20% of grade)

Test 2: 66% (25% of grade)

Test 3: 80% (20% of grade)

Final (35% of grade)

I'm gonna need a 100 to pass class on the final and that is impossible.

The good news is you've improved so much! I think it would be a borderline miracle to go from failing to As in such a short time, so while I totally get that failing is brutal....you should still be proud that you've improved. Maybe you just need an extra semester to the hang of things.

Thanks. The reason why my grade jumped up was ecause I bought the book Fluid and Electrolytes Made Easy. I could have gotten an A if I didn't second guess my self on two of the other questions.

Just a thought: If you have really seen the light about what happens when you really work with supplementary material to help you really understand, not just memorize, then perhaps it will carry over. Ask your faculty if you can do a special project, a research paper, something, anything that will demonstrate that the 80% isn't a fluke, and when combined with the 90% you'll work your butt off to achieve in the final (using all the other supplemental material people have recommended to you here for the last ten months or so) might let you go on to the next semester. Can't hurt to ask.

you need a 90% on the final. Still a high number, but better than needing 100%

I remember being in a similar situation and got a 96 on the final. So bittersweet... good luck... :o

I would talk to the teacher and do what ever she says. Most of them want you to pass

the final has 100 questions, so how many can I get wrong in order to get a 90%?

90 percent of 100 = 90

You will need to answer 90 questions correctly. You can miss 10 questions.

This concerns me about your ability to do basic math! You can't pass dosage calculations if you don't hurry hurry hurry and get some math tutoring. I hate math, nothing scares me more than a math problem. Except maybe getting a math problem wrong when I am on the floor about to give a med to a patient. Now THAT is scary.

You're not serious, really?

How do you think you'll pass med math if you can't figure what 90% of 100 is ??

I'm gonna take that as a joke. Right?
