Its the math in physics.... I am not "good" in math I can do math, but the problem is it takes me awhile to do it and figure out how do the problem... the test are only a certian amount of time for a certian amount of questions and some questions take me a little longer or they are not what i expected and throw me off. I am also bad with formula manpiulation that takes me a minute to figure out also. I am just in general bad at taking math tests... I can do math I just suck at math tests, I blank out or I dont have enough time. I dont know why I just always been that way.

if you are majoring in science and you are weak in maths........ life is going to be extremely difficult for you.. i did so much maths when i was doing my degree and all throughout when i was majoring in sciences and its all pure maths, one way or the other. cant you get extra tuition in maths? you will always be dealing with it, and you have to be very strong in that to excel in science.
i am glad your going to stick with it.. i know so many people with only 3 credits left... they could not do math...... algebra etc and gave up..i would get a tutor or something... so close they were and all that time and work and money wasted... good luck to you... you will do just fine..nothing worse then fear itself...Ash;4044464; said:
i suck at taking tests too...i beleive numbers are math class and letters are english class and they should NOT be mixed with each other!!
^haha that made me laugh.
I made it this far handling math so I know I can do it. I do go to tutors but they are not the best (the school offered ones) I also work with other calss mates and we all help one another out... shoot I helped someone learn an entire chapter of what we did but I just suck at the tests. I just needed to vent it out I guess. Again I can handle and do math its just physics I am having trouble with the tests. If I need to use math in field work I can do that and I am doing it now in labs. I ve just been in school so long its getting very frustrating and I pay out of pocket (which is a big motivator). I dont seem to struggle with science classes math or not. If you cant tell I am really stressed... and over school. (out side of calc 1 I got a A's/B's in all my pre-math's, an A in my algebra an A in stats and a B in trig and a C in pre-calc and calc.). Needless to say I dont suck as bad as I am making you think lol.. its just a test thing with me and I am just not that intrested in phy2 which makes it hard. I have a 3.something gpa right now and I am pretty much a senior my gpa has yet to drop below a 3.0 (hoping I didnt just jinyx that !). I just stress out really bad -_-; and this is the worst I feel I have ever done in a class. I can gurantee you I will not be changing my major this is what I have wanted to do from before kindergarden....crazy I actually stuck with it. I just needed to get it out... I know some of you have gone through these times. It just doesnt help that the school in general gears everything toward med students and funny thing is... marine biology is something they are well known for yet the undergrad program is not that great imo. Just with that combo it makes it frustrating. I know I cant be the only one going through his right now either... so if anyone else needs to vent please feel free =] I appreciate the comments, just trying to get it out, not to stress about it and get motivated again.

i think the stress is setting in and venting is what you need to do.. because your actually doing very well... you just don't realize it.... and that is really wonderful that you will realize your childhood dream... wow...Ash;4045221; said:
I recently graduated and couldn't agree more about the gen ed or lower level classes. Its real annoying that classes like art, history, and psychology were lowering my overall GPA. Not to say these classes weren't interesting because no doubt they were but i didn't do that well in them because i had no motivation to do well on the exams.
