AGH! Failed a Kinesthesiology Test :(

[Brit]

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo bumbed. I failed a KMP test Saturday. On top of that, I felt as if I was floundering in my clinical class addressing the same muscles (shoulder girdle and humerus).I thought I knew the material (maybe not 100%) but surely enough to pass the test. This bothers me on three fronts (in order of relative importance at the moment):1. I need to go over and 'thoroughly' learn this stuff in order to better serve my clients to address their problems.2. The most I'll be able to achieve for this class is now either a low B or high C...which will shoot my GPA (currently 3.7) all to h*ll. (And, yes, I do think it's important what grade you've received in physiologically-based courses because it's a direct indication of your knowledge base.)3. I'll need to take an hour of lecture and retake the test in order to gratuate. Assuming I pass it the second go around, the most I'll be able to get it is a D.Thanks for listening.

Im sorry that you are going through this . I am also going throught the same thing. I study, study, and study and I still fail my test. The bad thing is is that I know the information but the way the test is worded I get the answers wrong . I also have a high GPA and I know that I won't this semester. I am really frustrated and dont know what to do. I mean I have  tape recorded the lessions and listen to them and still fail. Plus most of the students in my class fail too. Once again im sorry that you are going through this.

Sorry to hear about this, Gaspen. Sounds like it's pretty stressful. I suspect the second time you'll breeze through it.I would argue the grade issue. As njones said, sometimes people don't test well, sometimes you just have a bad day, sometimes the info just wasn't there when you needed it.....just trying to say take it easy on yourself. If you didn't know it cold the last time, this sounds like it will be the motivation to have it really stick this time, which is the ultimate goal. The more we work on people, the more familiar we get with all this stuff anyway.  For me, that is the thing that makes it stick. I can memorize things for tests all day, but until I have a direct, tactile connection with a muscle or bone or injury...., it's just words or sketches on a page.

yeah - I know what you mean about having a driven motivation - and the need to work hands on with people. I tend to put more stress on myself than needed (I thought I had worked that self-destructive behavior out, but I guess I'll need to work a little harder).

I know it has been mentioned somewhere on the boards before, but Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain is really GREAT for muscles/bones and their movements.  Even for after school, it should be on any body worker's bookshelf.

Okay...so I spoke too soon. I totally apologize for my error. I REALLY thought I HAD failed. But I didn't. :-[I ended up getting an A-. The way I was throwing out answers, I thought for sure at 75% of them were wrong and those were all answered after much thinking, working from the O and I to figure out I.Anyway, again...sorry about everything. But not to worry. I've got 1 and 1/2 quarters to go, yet.
