Re: good coursework but messed up in exams
I'm sure you haven't messed up totally. I walked out of my history exam last year CRYING like mad because I genuinely thought I did badly - I thought I got a C. I was in hysterics. Then on results day I got the shock of my life - 50/50 full marks! It's happened other times too when I walk out of an exam and go over the questions I answer & think 'Oh my goodness I have done so so badly' and it turns out I haven't.
Don't be so hard on yourself I'm sure you've done fine. Anyway, you can't change it now so you can only learn from this and ask yourself why you 'messed up'. Were you in too much of a panicking/anxious state? Not reading the questions carefully?
If you have good coursework this should probably bring you up anyway. You should just stop worrying. You probably have achieved a B or higher.
