Sorry to hear about it. There are a lot of different ways to handle this. I recommend picking a couple of each of: - A. Techniques focusing on the circumstances: It's not your fault. You have shared, objective evidence that shows that testing circumstances are a problem and that you know your stuff. So, for these techniques, you take an objective view and go to your profs and say "look, here's the situation, I need help, what can be done?" Keep an open mind, and see what they say. (Please don't stop with just one person--Ask a variety of profs, ask department leadership, ask around) I've seen some great examples where students were accommodated really well. - B. Techniques focusing on you: Check for a resource lab that can help you out. For example, test-taking courses. These treat the test-taking process itself as a skill that can be mastered. You can even find these on Youtube. Some schools also offer self-hypnosis courses. These also exist online and there are test-taking scripts on Youtube. A lot of people will lecture you on these techniques but it's important to ask: Which ones seem like they would help? If you can, I recommend putting most of your effort in group A. It's not a cheat, a weak path, or a shortcut, it's just getting help you deserve. People do this every day, and your school and department both probably have resources. Also since your school works in levels / shells from you up through your department, feel free to ask your school's general counseling center as well. They have definitely been through this a thousand times with various students. They can often point you to objective resources and suggest methods. Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is--there's probably some immense pressure to blame yourself. Instead, please help yourself in as many different ways as possible, without blaming yourself, if possible. Good luck & hang in there.
