Ok. Well I think generally there isn't any point in kidding yourself that it "might be okay" when you know full well that it won't be. So it's just about accepting the situation. So when March comes I might have got so used to the idea that I won't be getting an A that I won't embarras myself by doing something silly like crying.

I'm sorry, I don't see where I implied that anything 'might be okay'. Can you link me to where I said that?
If you deal with situations by being negative, fine. In my eyes, I think there are probably some better ways that by promoting hostility amongst people. I also wouldn't call it silly to cry if you have a bad grade which has a big influence on your future. It's more than understandable.

These facebook groups are getting a tad silly now, the new A2 papers are designed to be much more challenging. It was a fair paper, perhaps a little pushed for time.

The exam was okay I had one major problem though, the insistence of putting everything in structural formula as opposed to displayed. I must've wasted 10 minutes drawing out diagrams to figure out what the question was refering to.

No I meant thats what people say isn't it? "well you never know" "it might be okay". In general I mean. I'm not an idiot, I always am able to tell how I have done in an exam.

I don't deal with situations by being negative. I deal with situations by being realistic. Reality is, I'm unlikely to get an A on that paper. How is that not going to be negative? Being realistic about that situation is always going to be negative. And so it just emotionally prepares me for exam result. And yes, I'd say it is silly to cry in public about a grade B. Maybe you go to a better school than I, but at my college, any grade above a C/D is considered a bloody miracle, so I'd hate to patronise/put down my friends & people in my class in that way. Not silly to cry (and not going to lie that will probably happen at home) but it's defintley silly to cry in public about it.

And what exactly do you mean by "promoting hostility in people"? I am hoping I've not understood that right lol!
