Should I tell my tutor on her face?

[Anonymous]

I failed an exam with 23/50 and another girl got the same as me and she passed her. Should I tell email her right now telling her this isn’t fair.
My friend told me she told her not to tell anyone.

I study medicine.

Yes I should

No I shouldn’t

It isn’t fair at all. I think everyone should be graded equally, regardless of gender. In this case, I wouldn’t “tell” on her but rather question why you are being held to a different standard.

I would also be more concerned with why you did so poorly, especially considering you are studying medicine. Perhaps look at why you are failing and do better so it doesn’t matter how others are graded.

How are you getting by in medical school with failing grades? Seems to me that there are bigger issues than what other students are doing. You need to be much better in your studies to graduate.

Lets put it this way, my father is a doctor and my sister starts studying medicine this year. Both of them have/had near flawless marks in school to even get into a good university. Once there, my father did nothing but study his entire student career, earning great marks.

This allowed him to have his own medical practice. Do you think he would be where he is now with even one failed test? Nope. I hope you find more success moving forward.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Everyone in my class has failed the odd exam. My older brother used to fail the odd exam, he had to retake the year. Now he’s an amazing doctor with his own clinic. He’s overtaken his class fellows. Usually the people that do all the right things and get the best marks don’t succeed much more than others.

[PrettyPriya]

I don’t know what I’m talking about? You are saying those that get the best marks in school typically don’t succeed…. hmm. That is so backwards. Have a good day.

How are a grades you got in medical school an indicator of how well you’ll do in life. A lot of what you learn is bullshit you know. They don’t teach you the important things well enough.
You’re not even a doctor or in medical school, talk about what you know. You know one doctor who’s probably no where near in my parent’s league

[Asker]

Also it depends where you live. In some places they make exams so crazy compared to others. Crazy enough that only 1/3 of the original students pass in the end.
You don’t know shit

[PrettyPriya]

You’re right. I’m not a student in medical school. By the sound of it, you won’t be either pretty soon.

Nurse here. So I've heard the saying "What do you call the person that graduated last in their class in medical school? ... Doctor. "

While that might be true, I don't want to with with that doctor in my unit. And my coworkers would all agree. That's even if my facility would hire you...

[Asker]

I won’t be soon? I’m close to graduating in 2 years 😊😊😊

[PrettyPriya]

Not with those failing grades 🙂

[Asker]

I was only 2 points off from passing. You need 25

[Asker]

And yes I will. I get another shit at it soon, which I will definitely pass. I haven’t even failed the subject

[Asker]

Also, no one can really score more than 30 as we have negative marking. I come from a place where doctors actually have to work for it.

[Asker]

*another shot

[Asker]

Can I ask, why you’re such a hater? Is it because you were never good enough to get into medical school? Probably

[SecretsofKB]

Dude? A 25/50 is considered passing?

That's some low standards for med school...

[Asker]

Because the exams are very difficult here. Every wrong answer you get subtracts a correct answer.

[Asker]

Trust me. You wouldn’t survive here. I don’t know who you losers think you are

[Asker]

Everyone in my class has failed an exam before

[SecretsofKB]

Lol. I'm glad you think you're so cool. I've worked with plenty of physicians and some of them have a chip in their shoulder, but not like you.

Passing doesn't mean you'll get a good job

[Asker]

@SecretsofKB I have jobs already set up for me

[TommyMountainFigure]

You should have a quiet.. no a VERY quiet word with your tutor about this, and ask why 23/50 was good enough for one student and not for you.

One question though.. did you actually SEE the 23/50 this other person got a pass for or are you taking them at their word? Because it would look TERRIBLE for you if that was a lie.

[Asker]

Yes!!! I was sitting right next to the girl

[Asker]

She literally said the whole passing thing right in front of me too

[TommyMountainFigure]

Then you need to bypass the tutor and take it higher.. Seriously.. it sounds as if the tutor has it in for you!

[Avicenna]

Depends on what the grading system is and what the university rules are

[In_Trance]

Who told you it would be fair?
If you failed, that's all that matters.

[Guy13]

Let it go. Man-up.

[Guy13]

People have Favorites. It is life. Demonstrate some ability.

[Guy13]

It will workout…don’t quit over some GRL who can smile and get benefit

[Asker]

I want to call her out on her shit. So she knows I know

[Guy13]

Nooo, outscore her. After next test find out what she gets. Make sure you score better. how did you do on the last one…(she tells you) me too, I also got that score…did we pass?
