Failed my poetry exam

English lit is meant to be my best subject and I got an A* in the mock and new loads of quotes and things for the drama and prose exam, so although I was really nervous, I thought I would be alright. But in the poetry exam I panicked and did terribly, what I wrote was really bad and I can't see myself getting many marks for it. I now think I'll get a B in lit, and although a B is a good grade, I can't help but be really disappointed because I was predicted an A, revised loads, did well in my mock and I'm doing it for a - level!
Has anyone got any advice about this haha, thanks.

i feel like that with all my exams://
Honestly you'll be fine, it's about 65% overall for an A!x
Create a time machine and go back to do better? What advice are we supposed to give here? All the literature exams are finished so nothing you can do... Just move on I guess.

u will get an A... A in poetry is 31/54 according to last yrs grade bounds
Odds are you didn't do as bad as you think you did, just calm down you can't do anything now just have a good holiday.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I hate this poem
How about you
From last year's grade boundaries you only needed 18/54 for a C, which most people see as a pass so I highly doubt you failed.
