So I am barely skimming by. I have to get at least an 80%, or I need 225 more points out of 275 possible. My clinical instructor tells me that I am excellent in clinical and I provide amazing nursing care. Obviously that isn't good enough to pass the class by itself. I don't know how to study for the lecture exams. I have missed less than 5 questions to pass the test every time. Which I understand isn't a lot but when it comes down to it points are everything. I try to read my book, look over class powerpoints, answering the course content questions that the instructors provide, but I still can't seem to pass a fricking test. What else can I do to study and help myself to retain information. I know that everyone is going to say you can't just memorize. You have to know how things integrate together and everything else along those lines. My question is how can I make that connection? I know you have to do it, I just don't know ways to do that. any suggestion is helpful. This is what I want to do in the future and I don't know what I would do if i would fail. Like I can't fail this course. Please help.
