I'm not sure if this is something that can be empirically tracked. As the other commenter stated, a lapse in revision will hurt your chances of achieving that same grade. Additionally, luck is a huge player in these exams as, if the wind blows in your direction on the day, you might even ascend two grades, however the converse may happen if the exam concerns a topic you are weaker on.

I got a 9 in my physics mock with little/no revision but I'm so scared for the physics 2 because I feel like 1 wasn't that good. I asked my dad (who has multiple physics/maths degrees) about the qs after the test and he told me they were all correct or mostly correct at least. It's a gut feeling I'm trying to wash off, but I am so scared of dropping down to an 8. I also feel like my numerical qs didn't match up to others, but ofc it is hard to track which questions had what answers and it was so long ago that there is no way of fully remembering. I showed all steps so should get working marks even if answers are wrong. How do I chill about this? What if I srsly messed up and got low scores despite revision. I am doing A-level physics so kinda stressed as u can imagine.
