going to fail

I'm sitting at the tip of my seat right now, I have my 3rd exam tomorrow and I know I am going to fail it. It has a lot of electrolytes and oxygenation questions on the blue print my teacher gave the class and I'm just very upset. I studied my butt off for this exam but I'm comfortable with electrolytes at all! I have a 68 average right now and passing is a 70. This 3rd exam is supposed to be the hardest so it makes me feel like its too late to even recover. After the 3rd test, I have a 4th exam and then the final worth 40% of my grade which is a lot. So my grade could really go either way. But I am just upset that I might need to take this class again because I love the class I am in because its nice and small and I feel like I'm part of a family and to just think that I will have to spend more money and start the hell all over makes me so nervous. I have worked hard to do well but it doesn't show on my tests and I'm more of a hands on learner so its made it difficult. Any words of encouragement? My friends keep telling me that if I think I'm going to fail, then I will fail and that I'm being to hard on myself but I'm a realist and me failing is just the truth. :( I'm so discouraged right now

    You do not know that you are going to fail! And with that mindset, you are setting yourself up to fail. You have to stay positive. Take a few minutes for yourself, and then start working section by section of your exam blueprint. Read the material you highlighted or find other websites that might be able to give you a more simple explanation on electrolytes.

    You might be surprised. Think about this for a minute. Panicking is not going to help you. Panicking while you study? You might as well just go watch TV or something for all the good it's gonna do you. You have to have a positive attitude. The good news? You only need two percentage points to pass, and the final is worth 40% of your grade. It REALLY doesn't take too much to raise your grade by 2 percentage points.

    I remember I used to panic really bad before I would start to study and I knew for sure I was going to fail! I would call my mom and cry. This seriously almost became a routine for me. After I cried and talked to my mom for awhile, I would start to calm down and build myself back up again, an just relax and start to study. I know it sounds pathetic right? It really worked for me though. I just had to get all that panic out if my system. I am a worry wart to the max. The night before my next test I was a borderline nut case, but I always pulled through and ended up graduating at almost top of my class! You can do this, you just have to find your process whatever that may be. I cried my way through nursing school, but then again Im just a big crybaby lol it doesn't take much for me.

    You must have a magic crystal ball!! No? Then all you can do is tell yourself that you are going to pass!!!!! Positive thinking will go a long way. Believe me. Just take your time, break down those questions, eliminate all the wrong answers, and finally, go with what you know!! Good luck!
