(((((((((((((((((((((fallenangel))))))))))))))))))))) I am so sorry that you are having such a bad day. Can you look through the sticky at the top of the page and see if any of them can help you to not SI? I hope you are able to resist. I am thinking of you.

Now I can see why you are feeling overwhelmed. First semester - college is a big change from high school. Can you go talk to the TA or the professor or is there a service on campus for academic help? I struggled quite a bit my first college chemistry class and I even failed a Trigonometry class. I got a C in my first political science class at a good liberal arts college. I kept working and did much better in my second chemistry class, I brought my GPA back up from that failure and got A's in the rest of my political science classes. Struggling doesn't mean failure. Struggling means that you have to find your way around the road blocks. There is a forum here in the General section, "School and Study Issues". Do you understand what is giving you trouble????

I wish i knew. I've studied so hard for all of these tests, and I know the material really well, but my test scores don't reflect that at all.

Did you have to apply your knowledge, like essay?

Rarely. I think I'd be better off if that was the case.

I've talked to a couple, and they just tell me to spend a bit more time studying, and to read the questions more carefully.

Is it hard for you to focus? Do you have a lot of mental noise going on?
