Do the exam.

A friend of mine was in an electronic course. He was a 1st or 2nd year student taking an upper year course, so he didn't know any of the other students, and he had a busy social life. So, he didn't socialize much.

He found the material hard. Was working quite hard for a 40% average on his assignments. He talked to the prof, who simply told him not to worry.

In the end, before he did the final, he did the math: there was no way he could possibly pass the course, even if he aced the final. So, he said "screw it".

Turns out that he was easily in the top half of the course: the course material ended up being belled. His decision to not show up at the final cost him his credit.

So, show up to the final. Do your hardest. Deal with what you will do afterwards afterwards.
