I think I totally failed an exam....

Hey,
I had an exam today and I really want an A* but I think my essays were like B standard or something. - English Literature

Do you ever genuinely feel you did really bad, and come out with better, or when you think you have done bad - you actually have done bad?

After my exams, I just keep thinking how bad they all went...

Edit: My coursework is A*, 30%.

And sorry everyone, I didn't mean like a fail, but like I could have done loads better, like they were seemed absolutely rubbish compared to my mock and practice papers I've done before and I've been predicted and targeted at A*. It's just so much pressure from everywhere to get like A*s in everything.

Don't worry about it dude! :smile:

I thought id actually literally FAILED a biology exam - especially when all the 'brainiacs' came out and started saying what the a'answers' were etc. I cam out with an A* in that module.. 48/50. I always feel real bad after exams just relax, roll a joint if thats how you like it lol. You'll be fine.

Ignore them.
It's TSR, its OK to freak out about a B

And if its any consolation, I haven't done any better.

Forget about it. It's done and dusted and you can't change you're mark now.

Instead, focus on revising for your other subjects. :smile:

OCR short course ICT? That was a joke! It was so bad! The questions aren't practical either - nothing on useful things like health and safety :mad:

Had way too much time as well!!

Don't worry; for the last two years you only needed 50/66 in the exam for an A, and this was even lower for the previous years.

Try not to worry about it too much. When I done GCSE English Lit/Lang I got B+ in my courseworks, and I was predicted C/C (due to 0% effort in class). After sitting my exams I thought I had done terrible...turns out I got A*'s in my exams, so it may not be as bad as you think. It's done and dusted now, forget about it and move on.

I agree that it's fair enough not to be happy with a B if you could potentially do much better. But at least it's only GCSEs, and tbh they aren't THAT important.

B is hardly a fail. so shut up. :smile:

"i don't think i did as well as i wanted to" is a better phrase to use.

I thought I failed an economics exam, but came out with an A
It seems to be the ones I think I fail I do best in
Thought I did okay in a history mock, and ended up with an E :-(
I'm sure on results day, you'll find you've done well :biggrin:

What she said^

'B' is a good grade. Although sometimes I go in a test and feel I have dont sh** but end up with a good mark and sometimes I feel confident but dont do so well. Theres nothing you can do about it now, just concentrate on your next exam{s}.
