I have been studying the same through my last four years of college and now i have 7 weeks left, and have been failing my test what can i do?

I have been using the same kind of studying techniques like highlighting, doing notes, quizing myself, quizing other people and having them quiz me. Up untill now it has worked great. I have 7 weeks left and will finish my nursing program but I have failed my last three test despite all the studying I do. What other ways could i try studying?

It sounds as if this is a new occurence in your college life. Is this class very different from your previous classes? Is the professor know for being really tough? I know in nursing school, there are some classes that are deliberately difficult to "weed out" the students who won't be able to handle the program, but if this is your fourth year, this probably isn't that class. Are other students having the same difficulty with this class?

I think the best thing to do is to visit the professor during his/her office hours, or even make a specific appointment to discuss your last tests and figure out what went wrong. He or she may have some insight and some suggestions for fixing the issue.
