Hey guys, I'm taking my last pre-requisite (Anatomy, quite an important one) and just received my score for our first lab practical - an awful 51%. Admittedly, I knew I did badly, but was honestly expecting around a high D, not a low F. I know exactly what went wrong; I got sick earlier in the week and was sick when I took the actual practical (which was on a Thursday). This not only cut into crucial study time (I have practically no motivation to study when I don't feel well) but completely ruined my focus. I spent the majority of the practical concentrating unreasonably hard on trying not to throw up from the cadaver smell. I was averaging an 88% in the class before this test (based on our lecture test/quizzes)...now I completely DIPPED to a 70%!! I'm extremely upset and feeling really discouraged...before, getting an A would have been very doable but now it seems like an extreme reach. I really needed an A in this class since my overall GPA isn't all that great. I'm not sure what to do. I don't think my study habits are too bad (considering I've done well on everything but this damn practical) but man, I am KICKING myself for allowing myself to get sick and screw up such an important test. Any advice would be appreciated.
