My exams are making me depressed, am I normal?

I haven't even gotten my results back but looking at unofficial mark schemes and talking to other people after exams has actually depressed me.

On the non-calculator paper, I was in such a good mood, I found several questions easy, but once I left that exam hall and overheard other people discussing those several questions, I realised I found them TOO easy....
Upon realising I must've lost several marks, I got home knowing the unofficial mark scheme was already live, so I counted up, in confidence, the answers that I recognised writing down.

I went onto the grade boundaries for last years exam, calming down as I realised I got the A I worked so hard to get, but then I realised that this exam was easier than last years, so the grade boundaries wont be so generous, and that I had in fact got a B.

To some people, they might find it ridiculous as to why someone would get so depressed over a B, but when I heard people that were usually getting D's-C's realising they got an A on their maths exams, I felt so disappointed.

I am at the point now where I have no energy for any more exams, and have lost all confidence in myself. I've hardly left my room and its taking all of my energy to write this but honestly, I normally never get so worked up over a maths exam, I should be overjoyed now that its over.

But I can't shake the feeling that this is going to be the outcome of all my exams that I left confidently; I'm not going to be getting the grades I worked so hard for. Maybe I just don't perform well under exam conditions, is that a possibility?

Anyway, my question and purpose for creating this thread is to ask if anybody else has had a similar problem, and how they overcame it because I'm not getting a lot of sympathy off my family ("Oh, you should've revised" which I had been doing for the past 3 months)

Are you ok did your parents drop you

It's definitely normal to feel like this. I know it's difficult (believe me I've been through this myself) but the best thing you can do is to not dwell on it. The only thing it's going to do is stress you out even more and potentially have a negative effect on your other exams. I know this isn't massively helpful advice but honestly, don't worry. There's nothing you can do to change the outcome now. I know it's really disappointing to not feel like you've achieved your potential but constantly thinking about it will not be good for your mental state. Even if you don't surprise yourself this summer with a better grade than you're expecting (which could happen, think positively) you could resit next year or you could just let it go. Next year when you're doing your A Levels or whatever you want to do, it really won't matter. If you start feeling really down all the time or depressed, talk to someone; a more supportive member of your family, a friend a teacher you trust (they'll have guided countless students through the same feelings).

How many exams have you got left? i wouldn't fret over your other exams..... untill results day. You need to just focus on the ones that are left, as it could end up affecting the rest of your results!
Their is nothing more that you can do - apart from pray 😉.
Discussing you exams afterwards is honestly one of the worst things to do, and you never know you could be right!!
You need to have some confidence in yourself, and believe that you can get any grade that you want to!

What's for lunch slave?

I only have my 2 Additional science exams left, even though I've revised so much for them, I am still scared about the exam itself. Science is one of my worst, and so was maths, so I've lost all energy for this exam.

Please ignore the people taking the piss. I need AAA to get into uni and I think I got a B/C in the exam i just sat and I feel like crap. I know this is a GCSE thread but its a similar thing.

My advice to you is to NEVER look at unofficial markschemes. Last year after my stats exam I checked the unofficial markscheme to see i scored about 46% which was an E I believe. I was gutted, cried n everything. On results day I got 87% (a high A). I kid you not. So do not look at them! I've heard similar stories from others aswell.

Focus on your next exams - you've got this!

I just read this and just want to say thank you - it was really helpful to me.
And is it possible to resit a science next year?

You're his servant? Can I buy you?
