I'm one of those people that claim they are a terrible test taker. Whether that is my excuse to lack of effort or if I am truly a terrible test taker is besides the point.
My entire college career has come down to one basket, a very breakable basket, and four very breakable eggs. What I'm trying to say is all my eggs are in one basket and that basket just broke.
I am in an international marketing class where the 'rule' is if you don't score a certain percentage on the tests the professor has the right to drop you from the class (how he has that right is beyond me) but from the beginning of the class he has been trying to spend my money for me (long story). Well I of course didn't score the acceptable score on the test to stay in the class.

Now that you have had a little time to process what I just wrote and was able to re read this ridiculousness I will say that I am SCREWED.
CAUTION: ABUNDANCE OF BITCHING BELOW:
How has my entire college career 5 YEARS OF COLLEGE EDUCATION come down to this one test. Since when did a letter or a percentage define who I am as a student? Wait, it has my whole life. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it their job to teach me, to educate me, to help me obtain the information, to better prepare me to find a job in the real world? Isn't a professors job to teach me not punish me. I get it, I'm almost 23 years old and by this point in my career I should have developed a test taking strategy that works for me and shouldn't have a teacher holding my hand and babysitting me through theses tests. But God's sake just because I didn't understand it the way YOU taught it doesn't mean I'm not capable of learning the information.

In short I just want the tools to succeed and not my diploma being dangled over my head. I bet your wondering what I'm going to do now huh? Good question! Suggestions below please.
