Lost all confidence in my maths abilities

I am a year 13 student who just finished A-Levels.

Throughout my time in year 13 I was getting A*s in fm past papers and thought I was relatively good at mathematics and decided to take it as a degree since I seemed to enjoy it and have a knack for it.

However when I opened my results I was shocked as not only did I not get an A* in further maths, I didn't even get an A* in single maths.

I don't know what happened, people who got A* in maths always came to me for help for questions they struggled on and in the end I didn't even do as well as them.

I don't know what to do now I love the subject but I've lost all my confidence and am starting to dread starting a degree in it. What do I do?

(I also got a B in further maths, 3 marks off an A)

Everyone has bad sets of exams, and that's okay, by the sounds of it you're amazing at maths!
If you are really confused at your mark maybe consider getting it remarked or doing a resit
