<p>I am currently taking Chem 2 at a university that is not my own and was hoping to transfer the credits to my college when the course is over. I studied hard for the first exam and thought I did good but when I got it back I scored a 25. I am so disappointed in myself. The professor curves the grade at the very end. Should I withdraw from the course?</p>
<p>You should finish the course and if your final grade is good enough, then you can get the transcript sent to your school. If the final grade doesn’t meet your school’s requirement for transfer credits, then don’t bother. You probably won’t get your money back at this point anyway, so you might as well give it your best effort and hope for a good result.</p>
<p>Well, do you know what the average was on the exam? Because when classes are curved, the average is extremely important to know.</p>
<p>The average for the test was a 51.</p>
<p>If you decide to just wait to see how you do by the end of the class just be aware some graduate schools ask for all college grades even if they weren’t at your home institution and if you didn’t have them sent to your school</p>
<p>Maybe you could discuss with your professor, TA, or tutor where you went wrong on some of your answers so that you know what not to do on your next test. I’d be a little worried if I were you because your grade is really far from the class average. With practice, dedication, and help from your fellow classmates, I’m sure you’ll be able to squeeze out a good grade and get those credits.</p>
