I am currently failing fist semester A&P with a 75%. Mid Term is Monday but I don't think I'll do well. An 80 is need to pass. I will be placed on academic probation for the next semester to but I feel as though I wouldn't be able to pull the grade up. Should I just restart with the evening class, find another school, or try to stick it out? I think I would basically have to try to ace all the exams and Final next semester for me to pass. Please help! This is really stressing me out!☹ï¸

First, you should address the problem on why you are doing so poorly in that class.
That's not what I asked.

No matter which of those three options you choose, you are still going to have to learn the material sufficiently to pass tests for this subject, so you might as well take the bull by the horns now, rather than later. There are a myriad of threads and posts on this site about how to study. You have to try to figure out what your problem has been, make the necessary change, and see how it works, at some time, before you can succeed. Changing environments without changing your methods of attack, probably will not work. The information still needs to be learned.

Don't restart with the evening class or find another school. Neither would help you in passing A&P because you still have to learn the material. Addressing the problem is one thing, however; you should also look at some resources on how to study for A&P because A&P is tough that's for sure. Change your study habits, how you learn the material, etc. Number one thing is to see what you're doing wrong or how you're studying and going from there on.

It may not be what you asked, but it is on point. Figure out why you're failing before you look to jump ship, the material is standard no matter where you go and you need to know it. Do you need to change when, where or how you study? Do you need more study time? Do you need more visuals? Check out Khan Academy on YouTube, there are some great videos there for A&P students. No matter where you go, if you want to pass you need to put in the time and effort, own your failure and find out what you can do.
