switch to business - finance or accounting; so easy compared to engineering, pay is not QUITE as good but is still a lot better than most other undergraduate majors, and there's still job growth in the industry despite the bad economy

not good if you are not good at working with people, though. expect easy tests but also tons of presentations and writing.

focus on learning to study better.

productivity = time + energy? no

everybody has same time. not everybody has same energy, but in your context this is negligible. to increase productivity, you have to increase where you focus application of energy and make sure you spend it on the small amount of things which really matter and not the formless, nameless mass of little tasks which can soak it all up

figuring out those tasks is a skill you'll develop
so is learning how to best utilize your energy (hint: take breaks, record everything, and look at data & not feelings)

I'm going to say this as an infrastructure engineer (finished my degree in 2011). If your marks aren't where they should be within the maximum extents of the current set of circumstances, then whatever you're studying is not for you. Not everyone can be what they want to be. I've watched about 150 (out of 300) of my first-year classmates eventually drop out or switch majors in the first two years of the program. Large number of them didn't switch out due to poor marks, they simply found something else more appealing and suitable to their personal level.

So really, ask yourself: are you using your time efficiently and productively? Are you able to balance studying and playing? Do you have the motivation and the skills to plow through seemingly unreasonable amount of work just because you know which profession you'd like to start your working career with?

High school education may have helped some of your classmates, but that excuse only goes as far as 2nd year. Those that had the advantage of learning certain subjects beforehand will soon discover that they too have to learn new subjects. Those that didn't, simply have to make it up with extra effort. I've seen cocky first year AP/IB/shenanigans kids fail out in second year because they didn't have "what it takes" to learn in a fast-pace, intensive environment. I've seen few people who barely made the cut line in the first year (88 avg for a 92+ program, I seriously don't know how they got accepted) go on to graduate with 3.5+. Personally, I never took grade 11 or grade 12 biology, but I had to endure systems biology / genetic engineering in the first year.

Also, commenting on the small math difficulty debate: from what I've seen, in the undergraduate level, physics major math > math major math > engineering math > other sciences math > business math.

Marine23, I am doing a small social study so I wanted to ask you this question - did you ever take an IQ test and if you did, what was your score?
