pretty sure i failed first phy 1 test

<p>As the title says...there were only 4 questions and I'm very confident in the 1st 3 questions but the forth, no matter what I did I couldn't get any numbers that appeared right and I while I had work to show I attempted it, I didn't answer any of the parts for it..so at best I have a 75...is an A out of reach now? There's 3 more test plus a final I think</p>

<p>I studied hard for this too, now I feel like I ruined my chance of getting out of this community college and getting into the local state school near where I live, the school is rowan , the admissions for their engineering are very low, like 30 per class or something.</p>

<p>I need to get my GPA up .2 from 3.3, the lowest they've accepted is 3.5 for a transfer</p>

<p>I'm pretty depressed now</p>

<p>the question was a free falling body question</p>

<p>this is my 3rd year at community and I started in basic arithmetic classes and now in calc and linear algebra and the sorts, i feel like I've come a far way and now just blew it all</p>

<p>i NEED to get in this college i can't afford to go to Drexel and commute and cannot live at Rutgers BC i work full time</p>

<p>I'm sorry i just feel like ranting</p>

<p>my GPA should be higher but i had a hard time learning to study and learn when first got into college...i joked my way through hs</p>

<p>75% isn’t that bad, unless everyone else got it perfect or something. And, one score will not doom your GPA. Just try to calm down and then focus on your next exams.</p>

<p>Take advantage of “grade boosting” courses over the winter session. Even if they are not needed for transfer it could contribute to getting your gpa to that 3.5</p>

<p>Perhaps there will be a generous curve and you will do okay.</p>

<p>I failed my first programming mid-term with a “D” and still managed to earn an “A-” in the course. We had two mid terms and one final so your chances are probably higher than mine depending on how the course’s grading is. I don’t mean to brag, it’s to let you know there’s still a chance to turn things around for you! </p>

<p>First thing I would do is to go over the test with my professor to see where I went wrong. Second would be to ask them how to change my study habits since what you’re doing didn’t work. Last but not least, study harder! And by study, I mean do LOTS of practice problems! Physics is a hard subject, you’re not alone! </p>

<p>The worst thing you can do now is to dwell and be negative about things. Be positive and make sure you work your behind off to turn things around. It’s not impossible but does require a lot of work on your part. </p>

<p>Best of luck!! :)</p>

<p>Not a bad score, especially in a physics class. You will do fine.</p>

<p>My friend got a 75 on his physics 1 test… the average was a 55. He got an A. :)</p>

<p>Wait for the curve, Most of my profs swing it pretty hard closer to the end. I ended up with an A in a class last semester that was a C+ before the curve.</p>
