This week I took my first two exams in university, and I failed them both (lemmygrad.ml)

First Discrete Math and now Linear Algebra... I hate this especially because I studied pretty hard (although in a somewhat disorganized way).

I can refuse to keep the grade and take these exams again in like three weeks, but seeing the kind of questions that were asked, I'm not sure I can master these topics in such little time. Also, in Februrary I have two other exams for which I didn't even began to prepare for, so I would have to study a lot... And to throw more fuel, I want to graduate with honors... But something now tells me that it's something that is very unlikely to happen.

I hate university, there is literally nothing I like about it.

You may speak with an advisor about delaying the math classes until you take one that can bring you to the level of these classes?

I'm not sure of how it works abroad, but here in Italy every exam is done multiple times and you can join that as many times as you want, within some rules.

For example, some people will do the same exams that I have just done in February, and if I wanted to I could take it with them, exchanging my current grade with a new one. I'd rather pick a date that is the furthest away from now though, something like May or June instead of February, so I can focus on these two after I've dealt with all other classes. These two seem to be particularly tricky.

Now that a semester passed we will have new classes, so I won't have these ones anymore (although I will have Analysis 1, which is still math, but Analysis 1 doesn't require much from Linear Algebra or Discrete Math so it's basically another section of math). Luckily because of this I don't have to delay any class, and I don't even know if it's possible to do this in Italy, since they have a very 'you-do-you' approach.

Ah, no, that wasn't an option for me, I don't know if anything has changed in another couple of decades. I'm very pleased you have that option and are able to utilize it optimally. Best of luck to you, although I doubt you will need it.

Thank you, you're too kind 💖
