So Stressed..

I need to do really well on my finals. I legitimately fear that if I get anything less than a B- in any of my classes that my parents will stop paying for my college education and my future is ruined!!!

I feel that way, but with regards to getting anything less than an A.

This happened to me before where I screwed up so much that I needed a perfect on my physics final to get an A-. I must have averaged 3hrs of sleep that week. But I got my A-. Just study hard, really hard. Its much harder to get a 100% than an A. Just look at shape of the bell curve. You can get a 95% with 1-2hrs of studying/day. But you must study around 6hrs/day to get that 100%. I presume by really well you mean ~100%.
