I'm not doing good in Nsg school - my last semester

[raindrop]

I ended up completely bombing my last test, which I really thought I got an A or B on. I'm convinced that I may have gotten off-track somewhere. It was a fill-in the circle test. I won't know until after next week b/c Spring break is this week. My instructors are pretty "by the book" type, but if they see that I missed, like, 15 in a row, how can I try to convince then to raise my grade...I will even retake the test, do extra careplans...WHATEVER it takes. But, they are so "strict", I'm not sure how to broach it with them.

Also, as of right now, we have 140 points left, total, to take. Out of the 140, I can only MISS 28 to get the lowest possible C. Impossible? Honestly? I'm definetely not an A student. They test that we have left to take are in Neuro and Psych. Supposedly the hardest tests of the year.

I've emailed my instructors, but I haven't heard from them yet.

Can any of you rec what I should hit hard for the Neuro - any good books or anything u can rec?

How realistic is it for me to pass, honestly?

Well, 28 out of 140 is still allowing you to miss 20%, so I would think it is entirely possible for you to pass. I would definitely ask your professors to consider sitting down with you and seeing if it is obvious that you did, indeed, get off track in the test. I don't think allowing you to retake the test would be fair to other students, since you have all of spring break to (hypothetically) study more, and would be surprised if a professor let you do that. They may offer you some other solution, though. I would absolutely not ask them to ''raise your grade". I'd phrase it more like "is there anything I can do to raise my grade?" Can't help you with study material recommendations. The books I used back in the day are most likely not even still on the market, lol. Good luck.

Don't give up. Have confidence in yourself. You can do this!

Good luck to you.
