I'm just thinking if you spent 11 years and still haven't graduated, maybe it's not for you. If you can't pass the exam, you don't know the material, and you probably shouldn't pursue this career.

Paraphrasing an old joke, what do you call a medical student who graduated by cheating on the exams?

"Doctor"
