I go to school on-line and I am taking a finance class. I have done rather poorly, because the math labs only give you so many chances and my learning team group stunk. Not saying I hold no blame. I should have studied more and I should have filed a formal complaint to move from learning team when I saw how much they stunk and I didn’t. I have one more chance not to sink riding a d- atm. Today is my final got only three hours to finish it and if I fail it id have to pay out of pocket to re-take it and I can’t afford that, not to mention that my best friend will prob be very disappointed in me, she was so proud of me trying the math, even though I am so unconfident about it.
I am very scared. I do not know if I am being dramatic, or is it an AS propensity to get stuck on certain things. I keep thinking “if I fail I’m sunk” over and over again and I can’t think straight.
Please wish me luck guys. I am so so so so worried about this.
I guess I wanted to talk about it a little, see if I get less nervous and can get on with this test.
I hate final exams, so much. I never ace them. I NEED TO ACE this one. Good grief. I am a smart girl, why do I get horrid grades?

Good Luck :)

Maybe in the future you could talk to the school's disability office to see you could get extended time.

Remember, you can always save up to retake the course/test again. Also, you can always try something else, either a different course or some other line of work entirely.

I am puzzled though, as to why you have been taking a course that you don't sound really enthused about. Wouldn't it make more sense to study stuff you are really interested in? After all, wouldn't you rather get trained to work at something you like and are really interested in?

Well, any way, good luck! :D

Well I had to take finance as part of my curriculum. I did get a 24/30 answers correct, so I am a bit less worried now, but still waiting on final scores.

on a positive note, taking a break from this curriculum and taking computer science for a while =)
