Asked by stew
I am taking biochemistry. I study for my tests, but I still can't do better than a D. After I turn my tests in, I feel confident that I did well until I get my tests back. I am frustrated and feel maybe I am too stupid for such a course. I literally cried today when I saw my grade. I was so embarrassed that I had to keep my head down the whole class time. I give up. I am thinking about not going back to class. I have perfect attendance. I can't have a D on my transcript. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions on studying differently or any other advice? Thanks.

You need to analyze why you got the questions wrong.
I cant comment on how you study, not knowing that what your notetaking or study methods are. I suspect the problem is there, however, and can point you to the Cornell Notetaking system, which works.

You have your notes in the larger right column of each page, and in the left column, a question (like a test question) which asks about the points in the notes. Of course, when writing the questions after class, it helps you to review while the material is fresh.
