Hello everyone. Currently I am in my last year of PT school and I have not received the best grades and I have a low GPA close to the minimum gpa allowed to graduate. I have received quite a few Ds (even a couple Fs) on midterms/finals, Majority Bs and Cs. I will be honest on a few exams I either was exhausted and didn’t study hard enough or it was just a very difficult exam with low class averages.
What saved my class grades were the grades I got on my practicals (all As) and projects/assignment. but practicals are generally easier than exams.
RegArding exams, I do have test anxiety and focus issues and I am not a great overall multiple choice test taker (I did well on the GRE with lotssss of practice and tutoring).I have performed a lot better recently from the previous term, I don’t know what has changed, maybe that I’m just finally used to this crazy grad school life after 2 years lol.
I Am a bit worried about boards now that I’m close to finishing school because of my inconsistency and below average exam scores.... I would appreciate some input about this. I know that a student with straight As and/or above average scores will have a easier time With studying for the boards and passing, but I wanted to get some input on this and if anyone else was in my position. Thanks !
