In 4 hours I have an (online) exam on Physical Chemistry: Raman and Rotational-vibrational spectroscopy.

I am on my first year PhD. I know nothing, I feel like shit and I will drop out because I will fail. I will have to leave my country to seek a job elsewhere.
I briefly considered having someone on fiverr do it for me, that's how desperate i felt.

If this thread is up in 6 hours I will post an update. I hope you find more success in your life.

>home country is dysfunctional (organic chemistry PhDs take 6-8 years to finish), so I opted for physical chemistry which takes 4-5 years
>undergrad uni: top 50 globally
>PhD uni: top 500
>this cant be that hard
>get admitted
>no contract
>no stipend
>incoming solely dependant on TAing
>no postdocs to help, research group is 3 people
>corruption, exam answers released before exam, gotta know people to get them
>zero background on my topic
>gotta work a job to support myself

My uni mimics the american PhD style which includes courses at the start

[Anonymous No.12753836]

Nigger I didn't even graduate HS on paper and still doing organometallic chemistry. You on the other hand are on your way to PhD. How the fuck can you not get this done unless you are actively hindering yourself from learning?
