After a 2.5 hour anatomy study group, I find an email from my academic advisor and the coordinator of the physiology course informing me of my “less than optimal” performance on the physiology test on Monday….65%. It was actually better than I thought I did because I left the only essay question completely blank. In my defense though, I have been studying for anatomy instead because I need to do better on that exam (even with the failure I still have a 76% in the class). The sad thing is though, I could have studied for it for another 2 days and probably wouldn’t have done much better.
I know I should be pissed, and I kind of am, but I also feel like I have arrived. I failed my first PT/grad school exam.
