Why does this keep happening???

Every time I have a math test, I revised very hard for it. I get to the exam and I do the work properly and I triple check my answers to make sure its all right. Now I checked the markscheme and I lose 10-20 marks, this is starting to become a regular occurrence now. At home I get the questions right, in the exam I take my time on each question and have time in the end to check it, I come out thinking it is good and I did well, but I still mess up. I doubt i'll get into the Uni I want now. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME.

Well, there was pressure at the beginning of the exam (This exam depends what uni I go to). I calmed down as soon as I started the paper and was Calm and Composed throughout. I still had time to check answers and everything. I still don't understand why I got some of the questions wrong when I was getting them right a few days ago and I checked them twice.

Still, you might be stressed but "making" yourself calm down... it is not the same as not being stressed.
