    failure is a part of life. use it to motivate you to pass next time.we all get knock down. now get back up son.

    Drop the course? I am serious, if you are not doing well in the course (I am assuming you just got your midterm back), minimize the damage by dropping it -- at least your GPA won't suffer.

    Plus, there's always next year. But you've got to face some failure sooner or later -- personally I think it's better to have it sooner while it can still be fixed :)

    Cheer up, most of us had seen our fair share of failures ;)

    dont worri about it. i got a 25%s on my finals and i still passed the class with b- and a c. so depending on ur class average you may choose to drop it or not.
    lol how could u not know wut a gpa is.. or do u guys use a diff name? neways it stands for grade point average. basicly its ur average, usually calculated per semester i think.

    lol im having kinda a similar problem.. i just got 52% on a bio exam that i studied quite hard for and im feeling like the class is just going to hurt me in the end... but i cant drop because i already applied for my pharmacy examination this year.. and if i drop i lose 70 bones, not to mention the price of the bio class. its really rattling me... i guess the only solution to such problems is to keep working at it and givin'er 110% effort.

    hey Zylo might not be in US; where you can drop the damn class and try again next sem. maybe that also explains why he/she doesn't know GPA?
    where are you at Zylo?

    OMFG. 16 is kinda bad.

    Worst I did was 32/ In fact the whole class failed and it was the average. the highest was 58.

    The dick prof has somethin to prove to the students at uni.

    Half the class drop at mid term. I stuck around cuz everyone freak. from 50 to 25 about. ended up passing with B. The prof had to bell curve :)/ Some did failed though.

    So I guess u gotta figure out what the class average is.

    I's say go and kick a pigeon. Get it? You vent your frustrations out and you cannot hurt the pigeon as it's flown away before you can kick it! Try again as there's no failure in life only disappointments. I'll be sitting for exams in Sept and I'm starting to prepare for it now.

    I got this from a grafitti written on wall of the school library. "In the real world, there's is no cramming, you have to apply what you learned." I've been starting to study after a year and half of university already after reading this. Lol. Damn me am slow.
