I have heard rumors floating around the class of 2010 that the first biochem exam has a failure rate of "half the class". This is just not true! There will be probably be 30 people that do get a sub-70 score. I just don't want my readers to think that the test is not passable. You have had plenty of time to study for the exam and should do just fine.

This is a learning experience--many will walk out of the test thinking, "boy, I didn't think those things were too important, yet they tested on them." You will learn the detail needed very quickly.

Remember, there are MANY points available to you this quarter. Also, I don't know anybody that hasn't failed an exam before to my knowledge.

just relax and study hard (NO ALL-NIGHTERS!)
