You're not the only one who's been through this. It took me two tries for a few classes, and the 2nd time actually taught me more and created a better foundation as a whole and towards the end of my degree I was helping those who passed on the first time through because they missed a few of the fundamentals.

If you know your stuff and try all you can to get valid experiences while at college, that's what will matter. I had 3 years of experience going into college, did an intern through my first two years at a company. Needless to say my grades weren't the best because I am not a good test take, but I got offered a lead engineering role and dropped out before I could finish. Experience is everything.
My CS grade came in today and I'm sad because even at my best I could not get through it. Even with all the time I spent in and out of class, and those sleepless nights spent programming into the morning. All this effort and I still couldn't pass this class. My final killed me, and i'm upset because I know this exam doesn't represent all that I can do. It worries me because I feel like I will be told by employers that I'm not qualified because of a number. The number isn't everything, there's a story to every number.
