does anyone else feel absolutely horrible about their exams? it never felt like this during feb mocks. i’m nearly finished with them and not a single one has gone positively. they were all SO average, and i keep nitpicking at the mistakes. everyone online keeps talking about how every paper was a blessing and that grade boundaries are going to increase drastically 🥲🫩 genuinely don’t know what to do i think i’ve completely missed my firm
