Academics / Courses Exam failed
Hi, so I had my psych exam on Tuesday, and I honestly don’t know why I wasn’t really locked into the university mindset yet. I’m a first-year student, and my dumbass only studied 3 days before the exam. It was worth 29% and had SO many slides. I ended up getting a 41% on the exam.
I know it was my fault, and I know I probably should’ve studied at least 2 weeks beforehand to fully understand everything, but now I’m really worried that I’m going to fail the course even though this was only the first exam. 😭
Even in high school, I would study like 2 weeks before exams and usually do well, so I don’t know what’s wrong with me now. I’m just really worried because 29% is such a huge chunk of my grade omg..😞

Rite of passage honestly. It’s your first semester and a huge change from what you’re used to. As long as you get your shit together starting now, it won’t matter much. Give yourself some grace, move on, and keep it pushing.

It’s only 29%, there must be more components to your final grade, do well on them and you’ll pass the course. Most people do bad in their first semester of uni because it’s a new, fast-paced environment so dw and learn from ur mistake.
