Is he grading the exam on a curve then? How did you do relative to the mean/median? If you’re above it by an appreciable amount then you might be fine based on the curve. You don’t say what year you’re in (Junior? Senior?). Will dropping the course lengthen the amount of time needed to obtain a degree? How’s your GPA otherwise? Can the GPA absorb a hit without dropping too much? If you have enough time to take the class again, or another to meet the degree’s tech elective requirements, and aren’t increasing the time/cost of obtaining your degree, then drop. If your performance on the test is such that even though your score is low, but higher than most others in the course, then hang in there. In the end, its up to you. You ultimately are in charge of your own grade management strategies.
