I feel like I have failed

I had my English Literature paper today and I really messed it up. I had so much potential but I honestly know the best of my ability didnt come through. This is 40% of my overall English Literature grade and being fairly honest I think it would be lucky to be at a D standard. My coursework is high and I have another exam next week but I really wanted atleast a B. I'm starting to think I threw away my chances for university in September and its really getting me down

A levels?

Yeahh

You have to focus on the exams in front of you. You might o better in others.
Assess what to do then, but you can always gap year and resit.

Don't just think you have failed. Wait until results day to make sure you have failed.

Ok sorry sorry, jokes aside, I think you will do fine, if the worst happens and you do fail, im sure that isnt the end of the road for whatever your future ambitions are.

All that you should focus on now is your next exam, the past is the past and worrying now will do you no good. You have a week till your next exam and spend it wisely

I know that this is hard and it might seem impossible to take your focus off your exam that did not go well, but you just have to try, if you keep dwelling on the past it can hinder your future exam by distracting you from revision. Just remember, try your best in the next one and just remember it is not the end if you miss the grade (but hopefully you wont)

Me and lots of other people at TSR will help you if we can, and we wish you the very best. Good luck.

Awk I know but Its so frustrating knowing that if they had have given a slightly better question I know I had the potential to do well in the exam but the bad question really didn't give the opportunity to really show off my knowledge enough. I have been looking through peoples reactions on here and a lot of people seem to agree so I hope that the Grade boundaries will be a bit lower, especially as the first year of the spec.
