I need to talk about this and hoping someone can make me feel better.
I’m in vet tech school right now and I am not very pleased with my grades. I’m still passing but I feel like it’s not good enough. I’ve been getting grades between B- and A-, but most fall under the 80s.
Right now in one of my classes, we do laboratory procedures like blood smears, cbc, and urinalysis. I’ve been doing fine with those skills the whole semester with decent grades. I just came back from my final particle, feeling like I did fine. But I got my grade back for it as a D-. I don’t understand what I did wrong because I did what I’ve been doing this entire semester. I have Bs in all of my classes right now. I can’t help the feeling like Bs are not good enough for a vet tech student. Many of my classmates have gotten As on their assignments, labs, and exams.
I haven’t been doing so great in pharmacology either. I have taken four exams for pharmacology and gotten Ds and Cs. Online, it shows the class average of the exams and how many students got what grade. Most students gotten about 85 to 100.
I don’t know, I feel like where I stand right now is not good enough where it seems that most students are doing better. It does take a while for me to fully understand materials. Will these grades really define me as the kind of vet tech I will be?
