PiccoloPlaya. Try to do your best! if you fail the semester it's not the end of the world. it Sucks, I know, but hey what's another 4months if you think about THE REST OF YOU LIFE. Just talk to professors try to modify your study habits. If you end up facing the committee, just show that you want to work HARDER, that you have pinpointed your weaknesses and are ready to move forward, don't QUIT! good luck..

Good post.

Just to add, if this semester does not go well, then at least you are familiar with the material so you will do much better next time around.

Try to take a look at THIS POST to get an idea about an idea of how much time you should be spending on the material so as to drill it into your mind.

Good luck, PP.

McGillgrad, are you a ross student?

we all know you're not so stop trying to instigate a fight. if you have nothing useful to add then keep your trap shut.

Thanks for all the support guys.

PiccoloPlaya - if I remember correctly - you have been out of school for awhile under a very difficult situation. My .02's - stay calm, study and get into the flow of things. You maybe rusty. Maybe find some students who are doing well and talk to them about what they are doing in their studying.

Hey marywinston45, hang in there - read what I just posted above. If you are rusty in studying check with the counseling center or some students doing well and see if they will give you some pointers. Just stay in the here and now studying and don't look any further than the prep'ing for the next class and studying for the next test. Step by step - day by day does it.

PiccolaPlaya, aren't you the one that failed out of the US med school? If so, maybe medicine isn't for you if you're failing again. Not trying to be mean, but it will probably save you alot of money if you realize that early on before you accumulate alot of debt.

What I'm still trying to understand as a first semester student is how I've got 1 class just below 60 and I'm worried about repeating and the fact that there is a sign on the front door of the library saying that 3rd semester students advance to 4th provided they "fail 1 or 2 classes and have raw scores of 50 or above in the others"......I asked in another post about curves to no avail.......what's the deal??

if you spend more time studying, and less time in this forum....

just do your best, there are things in life you just have to deal with and no control over....

being nagative it NOT going to help at all, just study more

if one person can pass, why cann't that person be you?

good luck
