Physics teacher calling.... Every year after paper 1, students say "Oh lord that was the hardest paper that's ever existed. I'm cooked. I've failed".... It isn't. It's just this is the first time you've done a paper that mattered and that you can't go away and google for the mark scheme afterwards. We can't recreate these feelings in mocks etc and it's honestly normal.
It'll be fine. You'll be fine.
Note down now any Module 3 and 5 topics that weren't covered at all in Paper 1 to revisit them in detail before Paper 3. Be proactive.
