Hey guys,
To my extreme dissappointent, I just found out that I have received an F on a test for the first time in my whole college career. To say I am shocked would be an understatement. It's in an upper level tough bio course, and the tests are always very tricky. Up until now (imma sophomore) I have maintained a solid 4.0 in my classes and seeing this has literally caused me to rethink my whole choice of becoming a doctor. I have done so well in my other science classes and English and humanities and I don't know where I went wrong. It's like I had never seen these questions before. We have our MIDTERM on Monday and I am looking for ways to get back up SDN. I still have a b+ in the class, but feel so depressed that I actually allowed this to happen. Im thinking maybe I did not study hard enough? I have a fear that I'll also fail the midterm and have no motivation to study
Anyway, I am not looking for sympathy or study strategies; I am simply looking for words of motivation to help me get back up. I don't even want to do anything school related since seeing this because I keep thinking, what's the point? It sounds so ridiculous but I really am doubting how well I will do since the material will only get harder from here on out. Any words of encouragement for failing a test??? Any premeds been through the same thing, and what helped YOU get back up and reclaim your confidence? Thanks guys
