Maybe that was my mistake - I took Microeconomics and Macroeconomics back to back the two weeks following Money and Banking and thankfully passed them both - though an hour before I left my house to take Macro, I checked the mail to find my scores for Money and Banking. When I saw my score and that I failed, my confidence was severely shaken, but I had to take it....and I passed.Ug. I think, more than anything, failing a test has made me promise to try study a lot harder with more intensity - this summer I wasn't studying very hard but passing so my drive wasn't too great. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise? Or sour grapes? hilarious
Hi Leah,
Don't be too hard on yourself. Money & Banking is a very dificult exam no matter how much studying you do, or how good a test taker you are. I had already got A's on all the other four exams before I took M&B and I STILL struggled with it.
You now have the advantage of having passed all the other courses, and you have also experienced the kind of questions you will face if you decide to retake it. In addition, you were only three points shy of a pass.
I think, now that you know what level of study is required, and what to expect, you would very likely pass it next time.
In addition, M&B is not a required exam for most people. I assume that you took it as upper level elective business credit. So there are several exams you could take instead....if need be.
You shouldn't feel bad about failing Money & Banking. It really is a beast of an exam...and anyone who has the guts to stare into it's evil eyes, has earned my utmost respect, regardless of the outcome. You walked through the valley of the shadow of death, and came out the other side shaken, but with all your limbs still firmly attached.
Finally, you might try to find consolation in the fact that you have now experienced what is arguably the most difficult exam out there....no other exam you take from this point on will be quite as difficult as this one.
hilarious
