 I'm like a really good student. I've never gotten grades like this. Like why am I failing now? What's up you guys Zidana? I am back with another video for you guys. Okay, so you guys you know again Like I've talked about hey, pay school is super hard Um, there's lots of tests and quizzes man like we have to do well And I think there's like a misconception that everybody in pay school is like it's like a two-handed misconception, right? Like everybody in pay school is either like super super smart or everybody in pay school is kind of like lazy And they just didn't want to go the med school routes or they decided to go to pay school Both of those are myths. They're misconceptions. They are debunked because that is not true Why you always lying and that is what i'm going to be talking about today or an aspect of that So I mean obviously again like I can only speak from my school's protect perspective or from my perspective when dealing with my particular program different programs have different ways of doing this You know, it's good for you to understand how they do that So I I believe most of them have it on their website when you go to like curriculum and passing and different things like that In the sections on their website, they will tell you how they kind of deal with grades and what's passing for them And and what's not what's failing? So for me my program you have to have a 73 to pass if you get below 73 So if you get a 72.4, then you failed and therefore, you know, that's not good Because it's like, all right, so you failed an exam or a quiz in pay school. Now what right? So what are they going to do? So with my particular program semester you get to Remediate two exams the next two semesters you get to remediate one and so with remediation What that means is you can grade remediate or you can just content remediate So with content remediation, you're just literally like going over the things that you missed You're understanding why you missed them and you know the rationale behind why the other answer might have been right With grade remediation, you're doing the same thing But also you're given the opportunity to raise your grades So you can choose to grade remediate and if you do you have the it's like two options So it will bring you up 15 percent or as many percent to a 70 So you can't like score a 76 and then be like, hey, I want to grade remediate for 15 percent And then bring yourself up what a 91. No, that's not gonna that's not how it works So you can you can grade remediate if you had lower than a set like let's say you had a 72 again, right? So do you really want to grade remediate for that 7 percent or whatever the number was that I gave before? Do you want to grade remediate up to a 73 because you're literally right there? So is it going to change your grade or do you want to hold on to that grade remediation for when it might be Really needed because it's not to say that you're going to pass every single test that you take in pa school Some people do but some people don't so with respect to that Do you want to hold on to it as a safety net as a safe keeping? Or do you want to grade remediate and that is up to you but for the most part I don't think people would grade remediate with like a 72 usually is if they got like a 60 something And then they'll grade remediate up to a 73 with respect to that, you know, you have to maintain your 73 percent You have to maintain a 3.0 stay in you know, like in good academic standing You can't fail any any any classes So if you fail a class it's grounds for automatic dismissal If you fail a test it's not grounds for automatic dismissal But you have to have Greater than a 3.0 cumulative GPA Even if you may have gotten like a C because you can't get anything below a C Even if you've gotten a C as long as you are at a 3.0 GPA So with respect to any further grade remediations Like I said, you have First semester and then one on the red like the other semesters When you fail your exam or if you fail your exam and you grade remediate then your score will change If you choose not to and you just like content remediate because once you get below 73 Believe you have to content remediate regardless, but you don't have to grade remediate. That's on you So if you when you content remediate and then it's just going to make you More aware of it for when the final comes around because the final is going to be cumulative So it's important to do that anyways But not necessarily important to do a grade remediation And I know that a lot of schools do have a remediation process kind of like Again, like I said a safety net so that hey if you don't do well on this particular exam If you don't meet that 73 some schools have 75 as they're passing It's just two more percentage in my school But it those percentage points like it just feels high However, they have it set it be it be it a B Or you know a C at 75 percent or C plus whatever whatever their standard is They usually have a safety net for that and that is remediation That's usually how they handle, you know bad grades or failing grades in pa school. Obviously, uh, if you Kind of if you fail out of the class, it's up to them to kick you out of the program But it's not to say that they're gonna automatically do that because let's say you fail a class Well, I don't know because if you fail the class in like the summer session that is contingent You know upon progressing to the next section of that class. I don't think you can actually do it. So Um, yeah, if you fail a class, you're done. However, if you don't meet the GPA that doesn't necessarily mean you're done Okay, although you have to maintain that 3.0 GPA to progress to each semester for some reason You can bring your cumulative GPA up in the fall session Let's say you didn't do so well summer But you can bring it up fall and then you can maintain that in spring Then you're fine But if let's say you drop in fall and then you continue to drop in spring Then you can't progress to clinical year and then you're out of the program But they want you to progress so they do everything that they can Ensure that you're getting all the help that you need. Don't be afraid to ask for help Um, if you're going through anything like this right now or if you have gone through it Um, I'm sure you're you know like asking for help from your peers from the professors It's very essential in helping you continue to progress and kind of navigate this whole like thing that can look like a bad Stigman it's like, oh man, like I'm like a really good student. I've never gotten grades like this Like why am I failing now because it's a totally different system, right? And so because of that you have to now understand how to navigate it and understand how to use the tools necessary To help you be successful in the future. That's usually how they do it with my program Obviously, you can look and see what the different schools programs do They'll have that for the most part listed on their website And if not you can ask them about just do your research, right? That's what it always boils down to do your research I hope this was helpful for those of you who had that question If you have any further questions on like grades and the grading system and the scale that they're on Just let me know in the comment section below and I'll be sure to get that information For you as fast as I can and if you haven't already answered Go ahead and follow me on instagram at azana the pa.
