Okay, so what I already knew was going to happen has hapened. I failed my practice computing exam
I'n a way I'm glad because I hate the stupid subject. We have suddenly went from mediocre computing to the advanced stuff and I can't keep up with it, so I always feel like the dunce in the class and wasted my time pretending I understand. Now I have failed with a grade of 17%.
I really really want to scrap the subject but my school wont allow me. I don't see the point in continuing a subject I know I am going to fail, I havent even a backup grade.
This practice exam is the exam they use if on the final exam you are absent. They send away the grade you earned there so instead of a overall fail you get a grade, Therefore its important to do well in them. Ha!

Please help me, I need to cheer up. I really don't want to give up this subject becasue if I do I have a feeling that it will interfere with my application to university. :(

Is there a way to talk to your teacher in this subject and see if you can get some tutoring on it, with him/her or if he/she can set up for a top student to help you out?

It looks like you know right where it starts to get overwhelming and they might be able to get you past that point. If you haven't figured out right where that is, see if you can. There's a possibility that once you get past that point you might just "get it". Do your best, don't just give up, if you do your best you will at least be able to say you went out trying.

Well if you go into something "knowing" your going to fail, your in trouble before you start. Is there anyone who can give you extra help? Just study hard and believe in yourself. Its difficult to keep up with such a fast pace, I had trouble with it at school. Maybe after class tell your teacher this and ask them what you need to do at home to catch up.
