I took the exam today and got a D! I am so sad because everyone who post a thread about this class pass! IC HELP A LITTLE BIT AND THE ECE EXAMS HELP BUT I studied a lot and felt I knew everything well. Some of the exam seemed to be more details about certain areas to me! I only missed by 2 points! I am 6 credits hours short getting my BSLS FROM EXCELSIOR AND THIS sH*T HAPPENS! I HAVE NEVER GOT A D ON MY TRANSCRIPTS IN MY LIFE! This may look bad for me when, I try to get into a mba program! I may buy the text book and go over the content right now because the info about the exam is still fresh to me! Do this grade say on my transcripts for life or what? An suggestions as to what will be my next move? I know I will have to take it over but I am a little scare right now! And my overall GPA is a 3.2 and I am scare that sounds so crazy!!!!!! Sorry for the long post but overall IC AND THIS THREAD HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME WITH GREAT INFO EVERYONE POST! I AM A LITTLE MAD AT MY SELF TODAY! I HOPE EVERYONE ONE ELSE IS HAVING A BETTER DAY!

I feel bad for you, but it happens to all of us once in a while. The big challenge with this testing business is knowing what content is on the test, and it is a gamble every time you walk in to the test center. I felt poorly prepared for half of my exams, but somehow got through them. Without the exam specific forum we would have to overstudy for every test.

You have to wait 60 days for a retake. Your new grade should replace the old.

While it is still fresh in your mind study for Psyc of the Adult and Aging EC test. There is a lot of overlap.

I would not worry too much about one bad grade. Everyone has one of those, and your 3.2 average indicates that this is an aboration.

Get your remaining credits out of the way so your degree requirements are met, then retake the exam. That way you will be a free person when you go in for the retake; all done, just putting some polish on it.
