AI Thread Summary
Frustration over a recent 6.5/10 score on an online MyMathLab test is expressed, despite a strong grasp of the material. The professor's plan to give 11 quizzes, counting only the best 10, offers some relief, but the pressure to achieve A's on future quizzes is significant. Concerns about understanding the biology class add to the stress, especially with a cumulative GPA of 3.12. The goal is to raise the GPA to 3.4 by achieving A's in four classes to enhance chances of acceptance at the University of Illinois at Champaign. Acknowledgment of the stress and pressure associated with quizzes and exams is shared, emphasizing that mistakes are part of the learning process and that improvement is possible through reflection and understanding. Encouragement is offered to focus on learning rather than solely on grades.

I got a freaking 6.5/10 on my online mymathlab test! I hate that damn thing! I knew the material perfectly but somehow i just managed the choke! The professor said he is going to give 11 online quizzes and take the best 10... so its like i didnt take any at all but still... i now have to get A's on every quiz :(

Aside from that, i feel like i kind of don't understand my bio class, and its just all frustrating!

The reason I am stressing so much is because my cumulative GPA is at a 3.12 right now... and if i get all A's on my 4 classes ill have a 3.4 and then apply after this semester to U of I champaign, and if i don't get all A's ill have a mere 3.2 or 3.3 and i feel like i won't get accepted... I know its only been a week but I am dying of stress already!

Whatever happens, happens. It is the truth. Go for shooting 10's on your quizzes but don't be disappointed if you get 7-9's on your quizzes man. I kind of went through the same ordeal not too long ago. The quiz was very easy I knew everything, but missed one crucial part and I did something very silly that I should not have done...We all go through it. If you get 10's on all quizzes, I applaud you! If you don't that is fine because we will go through these obstacles. Quizzes, and especially exams, make people do things that they regularly wouldn't do (happened to me plenty of times). I trust that you will be fine and know your stuff. As long as you realize your mistakes and learn from it. Mistakes are necessary to improve your scores.

Good luck!
