C is for cumulative. That is what the chiropractic curriculum is, cumulative.
I hear people all the time say things like “C’s get degrees” or “C is for chiropractor”. I urge everyone to attempt for a grade higher than a C. The problem is that a C implies your understanding of the topic is just enough to get by. But just getting by becomes a struggle.
There comes a point sooner than later where the questions start to build on one another. Information from one class can be tested in another class; the information that you crammed in before the last test and then forgot crops back up.
Or my particular favorite…You must answer the first question correctly to know what the second question is even asking! If your goal is only to get a C and you have forgotten parts of your classes (and you will forget parts) you will most likely not pass your boards!
This week my fellow classmates and I are reviewing for our entrance examination. Entrance Exam has 6 stations timed at 5 minutes each. It is a culmination of several classes starting from the 1st quarter. As we are reviewing and asking questions it becomes very obvious our areas of weakness. Things we half learned the 1st time, things we have forgotten, or areas where we comprehend the information but struggle to compile it correctly.
We will make it through entrance exams with a C or better because C is for Chiropractor.
