I got my results back for first year yesterday, and I failed an exam. The thing is, it was a really simple maths exam, AND I passed the harder, longer maths exam earlier in the year. I've spent today going over the course material again, and I would swear, hand on heart if I took that exam right now, I have the necessary knowledge and mathematical ability to pass it - I've been going through old workshop questions and apart from the odd silly mistake, I can do them all!
The only way I can think that I failed was that I either panicked, made loads of silly mistakes (which I can't afford to do because this test is multiple choice) or a mixture of both. I have no idea how to stop doing both of these things, please help!
I also feel obliged to sit in my room until the retake and do nothing but maths, despite feeling comfortable that I actually do know the material, because if I fail the resit and feel like I didn't do as much work as I'm physically capable of, I'll hate myself for it.
Please help!
