Failed a course

Published

Hello everyone,

So I just received back my first final exam grade mark and I got a 50%. I am going hysterical because if you read my first post about the marks I was receiving, I really worked my butt off for this exam. I got a 38/75 and I can even begin to believe it because I was so confident. Now at my school you fail one course you repeat the entire year again including the other courses even if you passed. I really can fathom that and I also don't know how to tell my parents. I am really devastated and have no one that I can truly talk to that can understand my situation. I just want to put out there that my friend committed suicide because of the pressures from her parents on doing well in school and she couldn't keep up with it and it is really scaring me that she was the only one that I could talk to and now I am completely lost. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Don't make any decisions until you have had a chance to think it through rationally. Like another poster said, taking the course again knowing what to expect will make it much easier for you. Also, talk to your advisor to look at your options. Best wishes!!

Hi,

I am also from ryerson nursing program and I just finished my theory exam. It was also difficult for me as well and there were 86 questions. I still have a practice exam coming up and i am scared for that as well because exams and assignments are two separate grades. Did you end up changing school or career?
