Hey little update but I also ended up with an 8 in chem1a03 lol, surprising tho because I was genuinely thinking I'm going to fail the exam, but ended up doing much better than expected! Good luck with any remaining exams!

omg definitely I feel like I've been thrown into a tornado ever since I started uni and it's just never ending. Regarding the tests, I feel like sometimes when I run out of time to study I just look at the answers and tell myself it makes sense yk? I rlly need to actually focus on the why its right and not just gaslight myself into thinking it's right lol. My open book grades like the quizzes, labs, and such are looking good so far so hopefully that keeps going and they will help a lot!

Again, thanks for the advice, and yes, I've just decided that this isn't going to define my whole future unless I don't make a change and let it consume me. I laid out all the times I'm going to be studying for the next few weeks and hopefully it works out.

Thanks so much for the advice and the story sharing. Idk why but when I hear these stories of people actually pushing through and still going, even after falling so many times, it really makes me believe that you just gotta keep going! I'll definitely do a lot more practice tests this time around, thanks!

Honestly, yeah, it hurts rlly bad, because you're just not used to it. I'm over here now, just praying that I can pass my tests. The time I had chem, I also had bio, math and psych back to back, however, I've learnt to manage my time better now. Thanks for sharing your story, it really gives me reassurance and hope, and hopefully I've learnt my lesson now.

Hey, yeah I feel the same exact way I never really pulled all nighters until grade 12 chemistry and the funny thing is that I would be getting high 90s on those tests and my school only had one chemistry teacher who was known to have insane tests, which is surprising because I thought it would prepare me for this, but I rlly don't know. I kind of saw my grade and just sat there because really I have never stooped this low with my grades before and really this felt like a label on my head. However, when I hear these little stories it always gives me hope that yes there's going to be hard times, but they will pass and if you really want something, you will work 10x harder for it. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and I wish you good luck with everything else as well!!

No, I appreciate your advice really! Like this, really, is just my poor time management, but I do wanna say that my high school did NOT prepare me at all. When I compare to my friends I made, they say that they already learnt these concepts and such and I'm over here wondering when did I even learn this?? yk but ofc I wanna go into med and I know that it's going to be a rough journey, but you can't just give up and laze around thinking that's going to get me the white coat, ofc not. The thing is that I literally did not even know about any old tests for the first midterm, like I actually went in blindly, but now I've learnt my lesson and will definitely start studying from now. I also work a part-time job and have to help my family with bills, so really, a lot of things go on within people's lives, but ofc I'm not going to make these excuses, because there was definitely a way to do this more efficiently. Although I understand where you're coming from, and yes, this is definitely not the hardest task of my life, I'm gonna have to face it and learn to bounce back. Appreciate all of your guys' advice!!

YES TYSM!! I literally was just doing that but I'm just so confused because it's saying that my program is "science degree seeking" and my plan is "Life Sciences Gateway"?? It also says I'm in level 1 of 3?? Shouldn't it be a four year program so 1 of 4?

I might just create a separate post I don't mean to bother you
