Will the progam you want to get into let you retake classes?

Published

My A&P I class doesn't combine the lab. The lab is a different class. I'm taking A&P I on-line over 6 weeks (I take the lab in the classroom). My first test was last week. It covered 4 chapters. There were only 18 questions on the test! I missed 4 questions! That's a 79%. :cry: The rest of my tests will cover 4 chapters each and will only be 18 questions too!

Does anyone else have a class like this where the tests are extreamly short? I hope I'm not setting myself up to fail. It's not that the material is hard, it's just that there's so much to learn to only be given 18 questions!

I really don't want a B. I want an A. I don't mind taking the class over again in order to get an A. I don't have a specific program I want to try to get into. Right now I'm trying to narrow it down.

For the progams you want to get into or have applied to, how do they view classes that you've retaken? In my case, if I get a B then retake the class and get an A, how would your program see this in their decision making process?

My program right now would allow for the classes to be taken as many times as you need. I switched from IU (Indiana University) and their policy is that it does not matter if you retake the class, the first grade counts. I think it's probably different everywhere! It's very rough when you only have a small amount of points to earn your A, good luck!

Definitely check with your school about their policy on repeating a class. Different schools have different policies. My CC only allows retaking a class if you received a D, F, or an Incomplete and will only allow one repeat of the sciences (anatomy, physiology, and micro). Hope this helps. :twocents:

You can retake a class only once, not just for nursing but for the entire college itself regardless of your major.
