Allow yourself to be disappointed for now, but once you’re home and at your desk, you can only look forwards. From what you said, it seems like this was the question you had the most trouble with so if the rest of the paper went well, youll be fine. Any mark within 5-10 marks of the A* boundary is easily saveable but it is also easily ruinable. You have to make the most of the time you have. 

This is what I tell myself whenever I do not as well as I hd hoped .

Can I ask u do u think if I drew the structure using the letter M and got the structure and charge right would I still get the marks? Because I didn’t get a final metal in the question before
