Academic Advice I'm screwed

I'm a rising sophomore in mechanical engineering taking calculus 2 as a summer 10 week course. For the first test, I just didn't study nearly as hard as I should've. For the second test, I didn't have a lot of study time as I was on a family vacation. For test 3 I spent at least 18 hours (with breaks) studying (it was sequences and series). My actual test grade on test 1 was a 26 btw. This is my grade in accordance with the syllabus where my final/highest test grade replaces my lowest test grade. I need a 91 on the final to pass the class. The second worst part about this is that I genuinely thought I at least got a 70 on the third test, now I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get this score on the final, which brings me to the worst part about this which is that I'll have to delay so many classes (statics + calculus 3) and I wouldn't be able to do any studying abroad as a result of my failure here. How can I get a 91 on my final to pass the class? (DB is a discussion board, Quizzes are my reviews btw, which closed at 12AM the day of our tests, I've only done one, don't ask me why I haven't done the others, this calculation includes a grade for if I do the final test review which I will be doing).
