I don't get it

I just don't get it. The harder I try the worse I do & this was supposed to be the easy test. Now I have to basically reapply to take the class. If I fail anything else before I graduate then I'm out of the program with no hope of going anywhere else because the school I go to wont write a letter of reccomendation to any school if you have failed any of their classes. I don't know whether to cry or puke right now. I've busted my butt for 2 years now for this just to be failing so close to the end. I think the light I saw at the end of the tunnel was really a train barreling down the tracks at me.

Leomom Im so sorry you are having trouble. What did you think your study problem was? What did the instructor say? It sounds like you still have a chance to turn this around. Dont give up hope. Can you get a tutor?

From everything I could tell looing over my tests I wasn't paying 110% attention to the questions/answers. So I took extra time & red all the questions 2 or 3 times, underlined what was specifically being asked for & did the same with the answers. There are no tutors available at my school past the first semester, it's all peer tutoring so nothing for our senior year. All that is left is the comprehensive final that is a combination of this class adult health 2 & adult health 1 from last spring. I am 4 points short on my average to be passing & te only way I see passing is basically getting a 100 on the ATI, not realistic in my eyes. I'm just feeling really crappy & it's not getting any better when I keep failing tests that I study like crazy for. I'm just trying to keep it together emotionally for now even though all I want to do is cry until I fall asleep. I know I can be hard on myself but when I see grades like I've been getting I find it hard not to be hard on myself.

Well it's official as it gets until grades come out. It's not possible for me to pass this class even if I get a 100 on the final. No matter how I figure it there is no way to pass this class, just freaking great. what a wonderful way to end the semester & start the summer.

Hi Leomom,

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. I don't know if it's too late for this (as in lectures are done and you are at the hitting the books stage) but I bought a Smartpen last year to use in my anatomy classes and it helped me so much. They sound gimmicky, but I would things in lecture because I was writing notes or tired or tryingto mull over a concept that the instructor was talking about and would miss important info like, "That might show up on a test." Anyway, it's helped me so much, so I try to pass the word around.

Best of luck and I hope you do well on this next one!
