Testing I’ve just accepted that I’m a C student at this point

[Pipsqueakalchemist]

I just have to accept at this point I’m a C student. Because no matter how much I grind or study I still do bad. Last semester I did terrible on all my test despite only taking 3 courses. Told myself I would do better from no on. Cut to now in the spring semester, and the same stuff is happening even tho I work hard and study. Just got a physics mark back and I thought I aced the test, but nope I forgot I’m mentally challenged and got a 60%. Honestly I’m going to have to lower my expectation for myself bc I’m tired of going through this disappointment every test.

Have you always been studying each of your courses for the FIRST TIME? I could suggest two things:

• Evaluate your own work on your tests and quizzes and analyze what you needed to do to avoid mistakes and to properly identify and apply properties or concepts.
• Study any topic, chapter, chapter section, and whole courses BEFORE you study as enrolled in/ or topic occurs during the instruction sequencing. Maybe upon second (or third) exposure you may perform/learn better.

Yes.

@Pipsqueakalchemist -- You've posted about this several times before, and we have helped all that we can. Please also consider perhaps learning a trade like electrician or plumber or welder instead of continuing to experience so much difficulty at university. Working in the trades is honorable work and pays pretty well, especially if you work your way up to the General Contractor level and start managing others.
