As fast as they are throwing new stuff at us, If I don't start getting all this stuff, should I just call it or take my chances with the sys final and see what happens. If the final does go wrong I believe it goes on my FAA record as a failure? anyone can pm me if thats better...thanx

Study the slides and you will do just fine. If you can find a gouge, study it. Pretty much based on the slides that have been shown in class. Don't overwhelm yourself and don't call it quits for sure. Take the exam. If I recall correctly, I think you have 3 chances. The system's test failure doesn't go on PRIA. It is the checkride failure and Initial line check failure that is reported.

I'm pretty sure a system test failure goes on your pria.

Wouldn't consider dropping before the system final, don't sweat PRIA! Like Critical said, study the slides/your notes/the gouge and get some sleep. Doesn't take perfection to pass.

I thought pria is only FAA stuff (test requiring an 87-10)? If you fail a recurrent PC for instance that doesn't go on your pria right? So why would the written?

Uh, if you fail a PC that goes on a PRIA. As does a systems test failure.

maybe you should go to the bar. I wished I would have lightened up a bit in ground school. Day after day of high stress needs to be blown off somehow.

Very good advice. At least once a week it is extremely important for your mental health to go out to dinner/drinks with classmates and blow off some steam. Or if you're not into that, at least go to the movies or something.

One time in college I was in a very academically difficult semester... I felt like I needed to study every night just to keep my head above water. One night I just about had a nervous breakdown, at only 20 years old. Fortunately one of my friends dragged my ass to the bar that night and I was much improved the next day.
