We took our math test last Monday. You know the one. The one where you can take it only twice and you MUST make a 90% or better to stay in your program? Well, on Monday I was told that I made a 95. What a HUGE load off my back. No worries about having to take it again. No more worries about being kicked out of the program because of the math test. W R O N G ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
All my illusions were shattered today when my instructor called to inform me that the Foundations department passes around the tests for other instructors to grade to make sure the grades are correct and mine was not. In fact, because of two tiny, and I mean tiny errors I have to retake it. She said all the math was correct, I just failed to put on two different answers stuff like mg/dose and capsules. Lord just shoot me now!!! I have been in such a funk all day. My instructor was really sweet about it but I still have the stress of retaking this test hanging over me. I have to wait one more week to take the test. I just want to get it over with. I'm sorry to whine and moan, but I'm seriously stuck on the pity pot. Well, thanks for listening ya'll.
Keep your chin up! The up side is, you'll probably be so paranoid about labels from now on, you'll never forget one again! Congrats on getting the 95 on the basic math though... you've got the foundation, just plug in the details and you're golden!
Thanks for the encouragement. I managed to make a 100 on the retake. Thank goodness!! It's so wonderful to finally have it behind me. Thanks for the replies.
YAY!!!!! That's wonderful.... I can SO sympathize with the first test, when I took that dreaded test I was told I made a 90, and I was curious which two questions I had missed... well, it turned out I hadn't missed any of them. I just hadn't CIRCLED two answers (even though they were fully written out and all calculations were shown). SIGH...
I did exactly the same thing!! I put the wrong label on 1 prob.I was ok but I know where you are coming from. You know the math....just take the time & pay attention to the dosage labels! I bet you will do fine!
Just saw your retake after I posted.... Way to go!
