I have a final the day after tomorrow that involves complex processes and lots of information that no average person can cram in a day.
I've decided to maintain a high GPA so my pre-final exam grades are 55 out of 100.
The exam's out of 40.
If I cram, I'll only get 10 out of 40 or something and wind up scoring 65% or some other low grade like that.
Or, I can skip the exam, study for the incomplete for a whole month, and get a very high grade (80%-95%?)
Problem is, my parents are throwing fits, my father spat in my face, and they insist I go and get whatever grade in the exam. Technically, I've passed the course already but I just don't want to barely scrape by.
They insist since they're paying my tuition, they get to choose how I behave.
Any tips? I had to cram for today's final (and I actually did good, especially since the material is easier) but I don't have the energy to do two all nighters within two days.
I've had a hiccup this semester and it's almost certain I will get my act together in the next semester, but my parents don't want to understand.

Despite being in college the helicopter parenting that I am experiencing and a complete lack of agency and flexibility in how I take the most basic decisions in my life have been making every waking moment of my day full of suffering.
My parents just don't want to give me a break and I am running out of mental energy and might break down.
IDK, shouting matches don't work on them. Trying to talk things through don't work either, I am cursed.

Incomplete grades last for 6 to 12 months, depending on your uni's definition. I am also pretty sure you need to have the highest grade so you don't get an F and fuck everything up.
If you really want to do the I grade thing, you would be forced to live close to your university to work and live in, as well as be closer to your professor as not all of them will be willing to give you an I.
Regarding your parents, you probably should clarify that an I grade is not an F yet, and that you need time to get a good final grade so you don't fuck it up and take yet another year and waste your parent's money.
