My name is Jen, I go to school, and occasionally learn things. I love James Dean, Hanson, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty, Fall Out Boy, Elton John and Billy Joel. These make me overly qualified to give advice ESPECIALLY since I spend the vast majority of my time watching and obsesing over Oprah.
I've been through some stuff, and watched even more drama on TV, so I can help with your problems, no matter what your story is Wishbone.

I need a really good GPA in order to get the full grant that's offered at a transfer school. The problem is my Art History class sounds really difficult. There's only two tests, and each involves memorizing the name, date, tools used, location, and artist of 25 random slides we view in class.
So my question is, what should I do if I don't get a good grade on the first test? I'm majoring in art, so I'd have to change my whole major if I dropped the class. I'm not really good at anything else. Besides, I'm not sure if I can afford to change my major.
I will not, under any circumstances, rate you. I refuse to give anyone who answers this a 5. (link)

I'd say give it a try and work your ass off for a good mark. I'd keep the class just because it's more challenging (and I'm a bit of a nerd that way) and you're bound to learn something if you have to work at it.
Don't let yourself slip into the mentality that you won't do well on the test, set the bar high, and you will most likely reach it. Talk to the prof, find someone in class you can rely on to work with sometimes, talk to your TA's, and most importantly STUDY.
However don't get confused with finding something challenging if you just plain hate it. You're paying to learn so it better be something you like.
