Just took my final

Specializes in ER/Emergency Behavioral Health....

I just took my Fundamentals final and I am totally freaking out! I have to wait until Monday for my final grade.

I did the math and I could pass with a C even if I got a 50% on the final.

I'm still freaking out, though!

Good luck! Try to keep busy, take this time to do something relaxing or fun.

I do the same thing after every final. On my last final I only needed 58/120 to pass with a C and 90/120 to pass with a B. Even with a high margin for passing, I still freaked out the whole time until grades posted. I also picked apart the questions and found reasons they could be wrong. We luckily get our grades posted within a few hours of taking exams though.

Basically, you are not alone in this feeling. And congrats on doing well enough all semester to not be relying on the final to pass. Good luck and fingers crossed!!!

You aren't alone! I have my A&P finals tonight and tomorrow (lecture and lab). I only have to get 52/140 to pass with a C, but I'm still very anxious about testing.

It sounds like you've done very well! Try to keep busy, it sounds like you'll be fine :) Good luck!

Nice odds. I do that for every final too. I calculated I needed a 40% to pass with a minimum of 75% to pass my class.

I got a 74% on my final and received a B+ for the class. Last semester, here I come!!!

Oh no!! You have to wait until Monday? I couldn't deal. Our final was online and we knew as soon as we were done. My instructors were awesome though about letting us know what our grades on tests were right away. They scanned them into Scantron while we went over the test in class. We did a Scantron then wrote our answers down on a paper test. So one instructor graded while the other went over the test. It worked out well because they know how we are about our grades. I guess I am lucky because I would be on pins and needles all weekend!!! I think I only needed a 40 out of a 100 on the final and I ended up with an 87. I'm sure you will be fine.

I scheduled myself for overtime to keep me busy. I worked last night and I work every night until Monday. Then I'm off for a few; hopefully to celebrate passing.

They posted them early! I got a B, which gives me a B for the course! Thank Goodness! Now I need to do this 3 more times to graduate, lol!
