Failing a midterm but still getting an A in a class...the dream.
The very lucky dream...
Actually happened to me, failed a midterm got one of the best grades of my year
tiago fontes I failed my math mid term for the first time ever in my life. I’m retaking everything all over again and hoping to kick ass in my assignments and mid terms this time. I believe I’ll do better this time than before.
50% on final but overall 86%. I'm so bad at writing essays :(
I did it for calc 3 during a summer class (super fast paced). failed my first 2 midterms and thought I was fucked. crammed my ass off and got 95's on the last 2 exams, got curved up to an A in the class. it can be done you just gotta go absolutely ham and hit the books hard 💯
My college strategy:
- Ace the first half of the semester
- Never show up to class again
- Pull off a 50% on the final by purely guessing
- End up with a 75% in the class & barely skim by
-
A man with a plan
@Belia Keane This seems like a scam because I have been seeing it everywhere.
You lost me at "7 days." I only have 24 hours LOL
Stop wasting your time on this video then-
I probably sent this like a year late but like-
@@factoryresetbutton Relax. Let's not take things so seriously.

Note that that DOES NOT USUALLY HAPPEN TO ME-

How did it go?
First! The fact that you managed to learn a whole semester of material in one week and then tested well is insane! wow.
Definitely would not recommend
I know right..now I have 3 subjects from a level ..finished the syllabus for two of em..have one more to go and imma gulp down all the exam papers I can within last 4 days
He’s Asian. Hahaha
Skips one class, skips every class, still passes somehow. It’s a lifestyle
Risk it for the biscuit
9 am classes are not even that bad. Try taking 8 am classes M-F.
U have my condolences
Try doing ROTC... You gotta wake up at 5 am every morning
@@InquisPrinciple rotc? lmao loser
classes start at 6 45 am for me
ChanDuell id only taking rotc in highschool, no point wasting college tuition to train for the military when you can join right?
college students: "ugh 9 am classes suck"
me, a high school student having class at 7:30 am everyday: "..."
O just wait...
It’s different though lol. Just wait for it 😂
Until you go to college and realize it literally kills a piece of your soul every day until you are dead inside.
me having class at 7:
I have had classes at 5.30 am and I had to be ready to board the buses at around 4.45am itself !
Think about if we set a week to do this for every class. Every one could finish college in like 5 months instead of 4 years
Lol it would be very unsustainable....
@@jWang HAHAHAHA
Dude my daughter just got accepted to UVa and your videos have been awesome. Thank you for your help! Your sense of humor is great! stay POSITIVE!
I took Logic Design my sophomore year and there is no way I could have learned all of it in one week... Impressed.
Lmao definitely died that week tho
Doing a 9AM class my first semester of college while living 45 minutes away from the university taught me that it was immediately a bad idea.
Lmao the worst
Who's watching this instead of studying ? 🙋🏽♂️
Yikes...
I’ve done this before and that’s why I make sure to attend every class. Well, I used to, now I’m just working on my thesis. Don’t skip a class even if you think you know the subject. Chances are, they might introduce something you don’t know which will determine your future going forward in that class.
^Very True
well I have 5 2nd year uni exams coming up in 2 days and I literally started watching the lectures recordings for the first time a day ago and thats only for the 1st exam. I havent even looked at any of the next 4 exams, plan to take them on one at a time. Wish me luck, did a very similar thing last semester ended up surprising myself with very decent grades even pulled one 70%.
In the UK btw
And that's my college experience. At least now I know how to self teach myself everything.
Positives from everything!
7 days is not cramming.
2 days is cramming
What an inspiring story! Been in those situations myself, unfortunately it never went well. Glad it worked out for you.
I had a class at 7:00 am and It was horrible...
I remember getting sick and not being able to take the final. Idk how but I still manage to pass the class✨
Dang I didnt even know those existed...
I saw this video 2 years ago and I randomly thought about watching it again wtf it took me 3h to find, thank goddddd
I remember taking 9ams last year. It was definitely tough and I had to drag myself out of bed all the time. Great job on clutching that grade for the final man
Lol thank you! And yeah theyre the worst
I've been taking 9am classes since freshman year. Actually we are given these 9am classes. Also my uni is 45 min away from my home so I travel daily by bus so wake up at like 6am and then catch the bus 7:30am(its the only bus available or I'm gonna be late for the class) and I reach home at 6pm. It's so tiring.
I WAS ON THE SAME BOAT WITH YOU LAST SEMSTER from the first and last week !!
I dont’t blame you the Digital Systems Logic class was difficult for me too ...
I skipped class because I felt like it was no use since I was essentially teaching myself after so what’s the point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But then - ___ - he noticed not many people were coming to his class (there’s was only 10 including me) so he graded attendance as part of participation.
So I decided ok fine... I’ll come to class and do the best I can, so I did worked through it... used all the resources available to me online and end up getting an A- for effort... because I think my professor knew he wasn’t the best teacher... :D
All I’m going to say is...
“You got to do what you got to do “ (as long as you do your best ofcourse :D )!
Lmao I love the similarities! Congrats on the good grade!
9 am isn’t even early....
Eh
Why does everyone hate 9 am class? Freshman year of college i had PROGRAMMING class at 8 30 in the morning and you were not even allowed more than 5 mins of lateness...people who did come late by 7 mins still got kicked out.
I respect you bro.
I respect you for working hard and not giving up.😃😃😃
Even though you screwed up in the beginning, you worked hard at the end and got what you deserved.
I really appreciate this video.
Plus I'm sooo glad you're still making videos.😁😁😁
I appreciate the comment and glad u enjoyed it
This is college in a nutshell lol
Honestly, I feel like this content was so real, especially how you managed it... I really wonder how you managed it with all your other classes..but yeah just wanted to say that hats off for pulling this off by working so hard! Can’t wait to see more videos ❤️ good luck for the semester!
That midterm is me for every Calc AB test and then the final is every time I retake every test where I can get full credit 😅
Lol glad to hear there are similar stories
I don’t think I am screwed anymore
U got it!
Dang, what a legend..
Any highschoolers watching this, there is a Project Lead The Way(PLTW) course available called Digital Electronics (DE) if you are interested in pursuing engineering. The PLTW course goes something like: Intro to Engineering Design, Digital Electronics, Principles of Engineering, and Civil Engineering and Design. Ask your counselors if they offer that. Maybe you could find your career option or something. :D
Im in high school class starts at 6:30 for me man 😭
Rip my friend...
I've done this for a few classes now and have done well on all so far.. (knock on wood) It just depends on how you learn best - I prefer to procrastinate and cram everything in a few days rather than go to class 3x/a week for 3 months, and I hate when people judge me about it like if it works for me let it beee :)
Yeah it seems I work harder the closer it is to the deadline so i mean...
great story telling!
Thank you!
I have classes at 6 am on Wednesdays and fridays
Damn rip
From my experience Digital Logic was a pretty easy class, especially after you learned all the gates and how they really worked. When you get to encoders/decoders it gets a little tricky, but other than that.. what you are doing seems pretty do-able as you found out :P (at least for this class...)
can’t believe there’s only 9.5 k views on this vid it looks like a vid that would have hundreds of thousands of views
Lmao Im glad u enjoyed it!
holy shit this is literally me in high school, and i just got accepted early decision to uva... i will keep this video in mind before skipping classes 😂
Can you do a vid on study tips?-if you don't mind.
I'l put it on the list!
Uva engineer here I actually try to go to class but still do bad. Struggle is real.
Lmao the struggle is definitely real...
Can I just do that in math because I already know everything and teacher put me right by her desk so she can look off my paper when she’s teaching
Lmao wut
jWang the only useful thing in life is math for me and running that’s what my life depends on if I didn’t have those I would be useless
Po 9 well his experience was in college
damn 8:29 i said fuck yeah even though it wasn't even my grade😂honestly if you managed to learn a whole semester in one week, you deserved that 91
Lmao I appreciate you living vicariously through me
I think this basically means: a. get help from other people; hoofing it alone is hard. b. do a lot of practice.
Pretty much
In Germany all classes are Dutch Knockout. You can write an exam three times and skip classes as much as you want. It's so hard to even go to uni haha
Lmao yeah I would definitely not survive over there then
you should making more videos concerning studying etc!
Coming up!
jWang yay thank you!!
9 am?! I had a fucking 7am chem lab for 4 hours 😭😭😭😭
Damn okay u win
Boys the day has come. I have officially realized how screwed I am. Thank you for this video I can very much relate. Im screwed. Wish me luck ✌️
Good luck haha
More videos!! I love your channel, it's amazing
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations To you though for nailing this so well
This weirdly inspires me but good job!
Lol sounds like a buzzfeed story
Lol I tried to copy their format
FINALLLYYYY!!!!
Been waiting...
:D
Man, I have respect for you. I had same situation and had 14days left but got B, I was hoping for an A
Yo I have 4, 8 am classes, 9 am is a treat for me
U have my condolences...
Me last semester with my discrete math, skipped all my class, cramped everything in during reading period. However, I only got a B.
Sounds like UVA will be fun 😂😂😂
It sure will
You only need 8 hours to get decent marks for one subject.(at least for me)
Just 8 hours? Nah mate I doubt it. Unless you are talking about never missing class and 8 hours of individual study, that's entirely possible (I've also got perfect scores in some subjects with literally 0 hours of independent study just because lectures were extremely clear). If you're talking about just 8 hours and nothing more (no lectures, no discussions, no ...) then that's not going to work in 90% of university classes.
It depends heavily on the subject and how the exam is structured but try getting decent marks in Anatomy with 8 hours of study, that's virtually impossible. There is too much material to cover.
Many maths exams are also impossible to prepare decently in 8 hours, take any course with a fair amount of proofs and I am willing to bet that you wouldn't be able to pass, let alone get decent marks.
Finally saw my 🔔 reminding me Jwang.
Lmao finally
i would love to have 9 am classes.. have 8 am across the board :/
u have my condolences...
I had a semester 7 AM class, and 4 PM.. it was fun :) . . .. . .. . . . :(
Yikes...
Does any know what the professor said on the bottom of his paper? I could not read what the professor wrote.
watching this 2 days before exams lol
Never skip class unless you know the concept by heart. If you r too tired, just go to class and watch the lecture, but dont ever skip the class. One small detail can snowball you to death.
truly inspirational
Or just plain lucky
Ayy I am going to UVA tood
next year and prolly majoring in comp sci, might see you there
Thats awesome! I'll definitely see you around grounds then
i am in that kind of situation ...
I definitely like his sense of humor (come on 3 years gap isn't that much)
wtf she made a mistake? i wouldnt even have questioned my final grade holy shit,, good thing u did.
I love story time with Jason
:D
When your class starts at 8 am and not 9 am xD
So that's the moral of the story. It's ok to skip class. But then work ur ass off a week b4 the final. Lol :P Well done, Jason. I'm glad u passed the course :)
Lol yup u got the moral of the story
This video was posted on my BIRTHDAY-
Haha Happy late birthday!
Its okay to skip class🤣🤣
:D
how can you not go to a class at 9 am?
all of my classes start at 8 am and I'm always there. how can you like going to a class in the noon or even later, your whole day flies and in no time it's night again.
oh did I mention I sleep at 2 am?
I have a week for my finals in maths physics philosophy English and svt I'm so screwed
do more of these lol
Lol glad you enjoyed it!
I have class from Monday to Friday at 9am till 4pm and in between we have 30 minutes break for lunch ......and by the time I reached home i could be fucking tired 💤.........
Btw I enjoy your story time 😊
Lol U have my condolences
Love the vid dude
THank u!
91 is an A-, Jesus that's crazy!
Crazy lucky...
Nice video, I learned a lot.
Glad u enjoyed it!
The thing is that would be harder to pull off for chem or math
Digital logic design is a disgusting class bro. It's definitely just as hard or if not harder to pull it off in a week. I'd say completing math in a week is doable but fuck chem.
What if I have a test tomorrow though
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
I HAVE MY CLASS DAILY AT 9:AM.....
U have my condolences
This was a fun session 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
this gonna be me for AP Music Thoery
You have 9am class and you hated it. Dude i have 7:30am class
same but 1 day
If he spent the whole week studying for this exam how did he have time to study for his 4 other classes lol
7 days? More like 4 hours
ur videos are SO DOPE and did you go to McLean?
Thank you and yes!
i dont go to any lectures of is that jsut me?
Nope its everyone
9am is early. :o
Unfortunately
That is insane and awesome. I probably wouldn't have survived. I wish my classes offered the Dutch knockouts 😟
Lol it honestly might be a good thing since many people rely on it and its not a great way to learn stuff
@@jWang
I'm actually taking a computer science course this semester. It's online and a bit confusing. Any tips on studying?
Isn’t Fall 2019 next year?
Yep ur right that was a mistake...
I haven’t really taken many classes yet but I do have questions? Is it easier to take morning or afternoon classes and why classes do you think freshman’s should all take?
Idk if you’re a commuter or living on campus, but i’m currently a freshman in his second semester of college and I had a 9am class last semester. In all honesty, it depends on the subject. Personally I would hate to have math as early as 9 am. (11 or later is fine for me). My 9 am class was enc 1101 and I had to travel 25-30 mins to campus every day and it was fine. If it’s an easy class then go for it, but if you are gonna take an early class that might be challenging for you and they offer a later time, i would choose the latter. Good luck.
^Very good advice
I am living on campus. So taking easy noncore classes at 9 and more brain classes later
Dude I go to a community college rn and I have a calculus class at 7:40💀
1:43 greetings from the Netherlands :p
Hello!
why am i here... It's 1:30 and I have a midterm at 8:45...
Just go to class. I know some days its annoying and you might feel shitty, but go anyway. It's amazing how lazy so many people are or just DGAF in general. Mostly everyone's parents are paying for it, combined with financial aid. So if you're skipping class, you're literally throwing money away. Not to mention the thousands of kids who would kill to have the privilege of going to college in America. 9am classes aren't even hard. I commute and have 8am class every mon/wed so I have to be up not later than 6am...Especially in the dead of winter when it's 15 degrees before the sun comes up.
Yeah it was definitely a mistake on my part... But its hard asf
@@jWang yea idk your program so its probably harder than finance (mine) so I don't blame you
Wow you’re so intelligent
😊
Why are you describing my college life in your video
except the last part orz
lololol im sure you got this!
LMAOO 7 days?! spoiled boi
?
jWang 7 days to cram is hardly cramming
Raihan Khan he knew nothing of the subject lol in my opinion it is for a final
@@raihankhan4374cramming is the intensity of your study and the degree to which you're condensing the material, not the length of time it takes. If you did 3 years worth of work over 4 months, that's still cramming.
