Final exam miracle stories!!!

Okay so I'm in a rough situation at the moment... final semester.. failing one of my casses! The professor told me I basically need to get a 94 on the final to pass. At first I was a weepy little puddle, all upset with myself and doing the whole "shoulda woulda coulda" thing you do when your in those situations. I pretty much was just like WELLP! guess I failed. The next morning, however, I woke up in a totally different mind set. I was like NO! there IS a chance!! I CAN STILL PASS!! Slim the chances may be... there is still a chance there. I am going to live, breathe, and consume this course content until I'm reciting it in my sleep if I have to. It's not over yet and I'm not about to roll over and die! I even called my friend who's a well renowned psychic in my area and ask if I had a chance of passing this course and he said yes, as long as you don't hyperfocus on the grade you have to get and just focus on knowing/being able to apply all of the material, I will pass. I was shocked! And by the way, just because we are friends does not mean he sugar coats things. If he felt like I didn't have a chance, he would tell me that. Anyway, I know a lot of you are into that hocus pocus so let me get on to the main point.

I'd like to hear some personal miracle stories.. like someone that needed a 95 on their final in order to pass a difficult class and somehow they did.

Or if you have any suggestions, those are welcome as well. I am seeing multiple tutors and I have the saunders 6th edition nclex review book I use for practice questions.

Blessed Be!:alien:

Go study...

I wouldn't waste anymore time here or calling psychics and crying.

Keep studying.

Sending positive vibes your way.

Specializes in Critical care.

You need to figure out what you've been doing wrong in that class and go from there. Studying a million hours won't help if you're studying the same way you always do and it isn't helping you.

I had myself my own success story. Hopefully it can inspire you. So I was in Fundamentals of Nursing 1. It was my first time being introduced to NCLEX style questions, I remember getting like 60s/70s on most tests. On my third test I got like a 64...and I started crying in front of the whole class. Embarrassing...I was so embarrassed. I felt incompetent, and stupid. I couldn't understand why I just...couldn't get it, you know? I needed like....a 90? I think to pass. In order to pass the class, I needed an 80 average. If I failed, I lost my full scholorship, and I'd have to repeat the class, and I'd be a year behind. Something in me was determined. I NEEDED to pass. So what did I do? I studied my ass off. Instead of blindlessly memorizing, I memorized AND MOST IMPORANTLY....tried to analyze and take in the information by applying it. I did all the questions in the back of the book. I used the book's study guide/practice book. I have this program called Prep U that has NCLEX style questions for each of the book's chapters, and studied it.

FInally, day of the test I prayed, I prayed, and guess what? I passed. I got a 94, and i was able to go to the next year!
