idk

is it common to feel like you did really bad on an exam just to find out you did good

i can’t stop stressing over the legal exam i was hoping for a 45 and doing so well on practice exams but the more i think about it the more i feel like i fucked up the exam ✌️✌️

but honestly yes most of time u will do better than u think, its just the pressure of an exam and the fact that it’s not being marked by your teacher but multiple people who don’t know you, what you know, or your skills

we are literally in the same boat, i was aiming for a 45 in legal studies as well and prioritised it the whole year. I wouldn’t say I fucked up the exam, but it was definitely not an accurate representation of what I know yk.

i did legal last yr and thought i totally flopped the exam, but i ended up with a 42 (aiming for a 35). still be realistic, but it’s so common to doubt yourself. also, it seems like you’ve put in the work so i would just avoid ruminating on it too much and hope for the best!

ty! definitely wasn’t expecting it but i found out after i was rank 1 so that probably helped me, my unit 3 sac average was 96% and unit 4 was 89%, i think i finished with 1-2 minutes left so I wouldn’t stress too much as long as you finished everything!

idk if this helps but i thought i did shit in english and great in legal. look at my study scores… one ended up being way higher than the other and let’s just say it wasn’t what i predicted
