Im not gonna bother to gripe at you for buying your way into school instead of earning it. But that's the problem here. You haven't truly worked at getting to this point so you don't truly worry about not finishing the job here. You only worry about disappointing OTHERS, you are not worried that your own food & shelter could be at risk. You will start getting things done when something is at risk for YOU.

Don't waste your time and money trying to be something which you are not. Try to find what you are interested in, be it photography, painting,music,dancing,acting, preparing food, looking after animals, or whatever and try to do that for a living.

 I think you have entered panic mode. You have a couple of weeks left before the exams and I think you should deal with your concerns right now. By that I mean see your personal tutor and explain what is happening (low motivation etc). Revision can be very dull so you have to unplug the TV, switch off the phone and computer before you get distracted...set a timetable for the work ahead of you and stick to it (reward yourself if you meet your own targets). It could well be that you are not perceived as academic because you lack motivation, as opposed to ability. It could well be that you just haven't found the right subject for you - an MBA never appealed to me for instance because economics as a subject sends me into an unconscious state!

 I don't understand why you would pay for a uni course when your grades were too bad to get you into it the usual way.
Surely your bad grades were some sort of hint?
And, guess what, the person you refer to as the dumbest, might actually have been smart enough to get there under his (or her) own steam, so who is dumb now?
Its too late to study, you are very unlikely to pass any exams without a miracle, you need to talk to whoever coughed up the money for your studies, and confess now.
You claim you want to grow in your life and shut the mouths of people who have under estimated, but seems to me you havent been prepared to do the hard yards.
There is no magic wand, even if you have the money to pay for a course, in Australia you cannot buy the good marks.
