Hey everyone, I just had a tough experience where I failed my SQL exam last week despite having an A- in the course. I'm feeling really bummed out because I put in a lot of effort studying. I'm wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and can offer some practical advice. Should I consider changing to an easier degree or just retake the course later? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

I get it, failing an exam feels awful, but it’s just one setback. Don't think about switching your degree just yet. You should definitely retake the exam or the whole course if necessary. Everyone stumbles at some point, and if you let a single failure derail your plans, it’ll be tough down the road. You’ve got this!
Just a heads up, SQL isn't exactly programming; it's a query language for handling databases. Depending on your career path, you might not even need to write much SQL at all. Focus on key concepts like primary keys and joins instead of stressing about the exam. Stay positive!
True, but it’s still a useful skill to have. Let's not dismiss its importance, especially if someone wants to become a data analyst or db admin!
