Test 1= 90% (worth 10% of grade)

Test 2= 72% (worth 25% of grade)

Test 3=74% (worth 25% of grade)

Test 4= (will be worth 10%)

final= (will be worth 30%)

so what do my next two grades have to be to achieve a 75% to pass this course

Yeah, i have noticed people get a little ***** about things that are not worth getting angered over.

No, they worry about having to work with people who just do the minimum to pass. (Or take NCLEX 98 gajillion times before passing.)

I really think some get off on never removing their head from their bottom. I have never seen professional adults act like this. It is like they are vultures. I read threads a ton, and there some that are just negative all the time. They are superior and do nursing school or nurse 1000x's better than the mere mortals they demean.

I don't think that asking what is the minimum they need to get is a 75% in a class is meaning that they will try for the bare minimum. I just did it today and I have As and Bs in my classes. It is a way of decreasing your anxiety. If you need a 85 on the final, that will cause more anxiety than needing a 45 or like I had in the summer, I had enough points to get a 0 on the final and pass. I didn't mean that I was going to skip the final, but it at least allowed me to take the test without worrying about not passing the class. I still got an A in the class.

Maybe not but if you look at the way the grades were trending, it makes you wonder. At least, it made me wonder.

everyone isnt a "a" student or a "b" student for that matter. Often times though they make the best nurses. Number 1) they don't assume they know everything and 2)theyre always open to learning and peer criticizing meant to make them a better nurse. 3) theyre always open to teach others what theyve learned.

Well this is the internet & everyone has different opinions that not everyone will agree with. Everyone can reply & post what they feel (within limits) whether people agree or not.

I second this. I don't understand it either. SMH. I believe I know why they do it, I just can't be as rude as they are to spill the beans. Lol. Some people......

Wow, some people are so rude. The OP may have had a lot going on during the semester, extreme test anxiety, etc. To assume they are doing the minimum to pass is ridiculous when you have so little information to go off of. Also, the OP may not be familiar with weighted grade calculators that are available online. A simple suggestion would have been sufficient. I graduated with a 3.9, no where close to failing but i always utilized the weighted grade calculator so i knew what i needed to pass or to get the grade i wanted.
