A level Maths Edexcel Paper 1 Trouble

On A level maths Edexcel Paper 1, during the exam, I panicked and did awfully. Is there any realistic hope of me getting an A or B through paper 2 and 3 and has anyone else had the same experience and achieved a B or higher?

Realistically, if I say "no", would you actually not try your best at the remaining papers?

As the saying goes, no crying over spilled milk - try to forget about the past and it will be fine.
Predicting grades is one of the least productive things to do during an exam period. After that, for whatever reason you need to predict your grades, be my guest.

You're doing A level Maths, so presumably you're capable of working out how many "extra" marks you'd need to get in papers 2 and 3 to offset the marks you "lost" in paper 1 as a result of panicking? :wink:

(Clue: The three papers are equally weighted.)

Yeah your right, I will still try my hardest on the next papers but its difficult to forget the feeling of failing a test, especially when you know you could have done soooo much better, but I think I just needed some motivation as the grade I want to achieve feels so distant now.
