I messed up English Literature Paper 1

I wrote a really good essay that I thought was about Grade 8 level. After the exam I realised I only used the text as a whole and didn't use the extract. My English teacher told me that limits my marks to 15/30. I feel like **** now, I've messed everything up.

Definitely doesn’t limit your mark to 15.

Did you reference the extract in any way?

If you referenced the whole text surely you would have used one of the quotes already in the extract cuz those are the common quotes ppl use for lady m so you can still get an 8
