So I took one of my finals last friday and totally bombed it. The thing is, I had a 99% in that class, so I did the calculations and the lowest score I could get on the final and maintain an A grade would be a 64%.
Well my teacher just posted our grades today so I went and checked. I got a 66%. My grade is now a 90.5%, but still an A. Fuck. YES. I was so worried because I wasn't sure how badly I did.
I'm so happy right now.

* I'm bumping this as I just failed a Chemistry, biology, geography course in one. Or I passed but just barely. It was the worst exam of my life, and I think I fucked up so bad the teachers and the sensor dragged me down because I sounded frustrated and entitled.
they asked me questions right away, and I was so focused on just telling them the things I knew(to hide from the things I didnt) I just lost perspective and overview, and control. And then I asked directly if I could continue saying my piece.
When I couldn't account for the photosynthesis, that became the doomsday. I had studied so much on english speaking info, that I had forgot the words in my native tounge, and it was just horror getting the evaluation.
Most of all I am angry at myself, dragging down my GPA. If I don't ace with A's after the summer vacation I am going to be severely limited. It's so hard going to school and doing these courses that are so painfully dull and complicated (because they are presented in any exciting way). I know all this material is amazing, but these old 200 year old teaching methods are killing me.
I think I need some drugs to make me more focused because I don't know how else to really stop scraping by during these exams. damn.

I didn't fail a test, but I did get kicked out of my EMT class for not having the proper CPR/First Aid certs. 
Didn't go to my LAST and hardest exam because 2 days aren't enough to study. Didn't even bother actually after seeing how much there is.
So my last chance this year(can't graduate if I don't pass it) is on 5th and I made study plan and sticking to it so hopefully I pass then, but there's so much stuff and it's so hard..
Basically an exam of all the shit we had over past 3 years, all classes plus some extra stuff and you get random 4 questions out of it :\

I remember a class where I almost got kicked out because I bubbled in a scantron with a pen instead of a pencil. Thank god I had an extra scantron. I pretty much tanked my physics exam because cheat cheats weren't allowed. Despite studying, I still don't understand the subject. I failed the course, so I'm not confident as of now because I have to take general physics with calculus I and with calculus II for my major requirements.

Have you already learned calculus? Or will you be taking those courses concurrently?
