Feeling Discouraged due to grade and what materials did you use

[2L8]

The problem, as I see it, is that what will help you understand will also take time away from the new stuff that's going to keep coming at you.  Meaning, you're at a "C" level now, you really need to ALSO learn that info- it's going to be on that midterm, so you are getting your new content this week but you can't let it slide that you have gaps in your weeks that have passed.

What week number are you in now and how many weeks is this class?  I'd like to see the big picture before offering any real advice.

 4 weeks in but 16 weeks in all, the exam was today the class average was a 68 , I got a 65... sooo from a 78 t a 67 .. bummer We start on the systems next week , so I'm gonna improve and keep my head up. I take notes and I study for 5-6 hours on weekends and 4 hours weekdays. I'm not gonna lie I struggled with chem tremendously , but cytology was a breeze.

Depends on your test-taking skills and study skills.

I saw your post asking about what videos to watch. IMO that might be a good idea to use videos. See what people say on the nursing forum or what pre-med students found helpful.

You may also want to get flashcards, or if you make your own, the process of creating them can really help as much as the process of using them. You can also have flashcards on your phone. If you spread out your reviewing and learning, it will help you remember.

If you're not doing flashcards, I would at least use a lot of colors, circles, underlines, stars, etc in your notes.

Also you may need to get a study partner who is motivated.

  I will try flashcards but I do color code notes as well , underline , stars , bullets , etc. I also use quizlet. As for study partners , there isn't really anyone "motivated" , I tried with 90% of the remaining classmates I had  , no ones really motivated , in our class if you have a 70 people want to study.. aka use you. I'll try to find study partners outside of class though.
