You are not alone in this dark spot; I and many others have been there, felt the pain of blowing it, and had to move on. you have reached out to us (your blogging friends), and now you must reach out to the professors.

My advice (as a former teacher) is that you go and talk to your professors. In my experience as a college the professors who had a personal interest in me were always willing to help me. Reach out to them Misha, it can only help.<br /><br />(((hugs)))Sharon K.

When I moved to MA, I had to take a teacher test, but they wouldn't let me take the History one and they'd changed the Social Studies to Political Science Political Philosophy. It had little to do with what I'd learned in New York. Few people passed it since it had started and because it was so new, there was no book to study. I had to take it THREE times to pass. At $100 a pop. I'm not used to failing tests. It was humbling.<br /><br />I wish this wasn't adding to your burden. You have to study more parts than you planned, so I'm sure it feels insurmountable. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />Hugs to you.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312704287427589698.post-54972309327129500132011-10-06T07:19:35.790+02:002011-10-06T07:19:35.790+02:00I'm so sorry Misha.

It sounds like you're doing things right with all that studying. Maybe how you are choosing to phrase answers or only leaving out a small portion on an answer might be where things aren't going where they're suppose to in terms of results.<br /><br />I'm sorry the news took away from your successful evening *hug*Steph Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975939582442193113noreply@blogger.com
