Ranting about a test that I know I’m not gonna pass for the second time lol
There’s no way I’m gonna pass this test even though it’s a re-sit since I’ve obviously failed it when i did it the first time 🤷♀️😂 I’m gonna be doing that test again in two more days. However, this unit is already one of the hardest units i have ever done in my course right now and just the overall concepts of it (like from the textbook and in general I guess) have always been very difficult to me to do and grasp with. So I think that means if I fail an assessment - even if it’s just ONE assessment from the whole unit then it might look like I may not pass the unit/subject and that I might have to re-do the unit/subject again (i feel like that’s the case but I need to confirm it with my course coordinator or something) so there’s that 🥲 I’ve been emailing my teacher about a lot of questions I’ve had trouble answering and that I’ve been confused with consistently but why is the subject still so hard though like…

Aww that sounds so rough @Blueberries, I can imagine it is pretty frustrating to find it so challenging again the second time around. Has your teacher been helpful in terms of working with you to wrap your head around the content? What about other learning support systems, are you able to get some extra tutoring?
Hope you're able to take it one step at a time and don't find yourself too stressed out on the day of the exam! Fingers crossed for you 🤞
I guess you could say that she has been quite helpful with the answers and the explanations she gave me with every queries I've had when asking her - but it's like even though she explains them, I still find it hard to wrap my head around the concepts itself because the concepts are still really confusing to understand and grasp with. I mean with other learning support systems like CourseHero, I do use it everytime I need help with questions that I couldn't do and need assistance with. Also, this morning I just submitted a question from the test on CourseHero and now that it's already more than 10 hours later and still none of the accounting tutors in there are able to help solve that question for me - and it's one of those question from the test that I did that I have to redo again tomorrow. 😭
If I have to redo the test again next week for the third time then there's that too which I know is gonna happen. But this time though I'll have to screenshot all the questions tomorrow so that I'll be able to potentially prepare myself for doing it again the third time since I know I'm gonna fail it the second time when I do it tomorrow.
@Blueberries Well it sounds like it is a really challenging subject if the tutors have been able to solve it either, wow. Well pass or fail, it sounds like you are putting a lot of work in and that you're doing a lot of prep just in case.
I'd also encourage you to keep an open mind about whether or not you're going to pass the test tomorrow. Sometimes, our own mindset can have a big impact on how well we can perform - if you believe you'll definitely fail then it's probably going to be more likely. You could choose instead to focus on the fact that no matter what happens, you are still learning as you go - and that's the whole point after all.
I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that it isn't too full-on, that you might surprise yourself, and that you can be proud of yourself and the effort you've put in no matter what the outcome 🤞💚
Btw I sincerely apologise if I did come off aggressive. I just thought the fact you mentioned "if you believe you'll definitely fail then it's probably going to be more likely." part kinda threw me off somehow, but I get what you mean though @Pho-RO
@Blueberries I didn't read it as aggressive, but I appreciate you saying so anyway, it is totally fair that you were thrown and you wanted to express how you're feeling about it all.
I think the fact that even though you're preparing to fail, you're still preparing to keep at it by taking the screenshots and talking about a third time around is actually really admirable. You don't want to give up, despite the challenge you're facing.
What have you got on after the exam? Could be an idea to make a lil plan to treat yourself afterwards, reward for the effort and/or a good way to get through the day if you have something to look forward to. Just an idea 😉
Thank you @Pho-RO I really appreciate it!
Honestly, I don't have anything planned that I wanna treat myself with after the test lol so yea just nothing really haha
Maybe that's exactly what will be needed @Blueberries - a nice chill afternoon! Maybe with some chocolate hehe 😋
Good luck, don't forget to take some nice deep breaths if you find yourself feeling particularly anxious. It'll be over before you know it 💚
Well I’m definitely not gonna pass tomorrow and I’m still keeping that mindset as it is overall hard even though I tried putting effort into studying for it. Also, since I didn’t screenshot the questions earlier when I did the test for the first time when I know I should’ve done so but I couldn’t cause I had a bad headache while I was doing it at that time.
