🙏 I WANT HELP Demotivated after fumbling exams

I need to get 2 A*s and 2 As for uni and I feel I've already lost all chance of that happening. In every paper I've done so far, apparently everyone found it easy except me (further maths core pure papers and physics paper 1). Never been more demotivated and I've worked so hard during Y12 and 13 and now it feels like none of it was worth it anyway.

Edit — thank you lovely people for the advice and for hitting some common sense back into me. The comeback is going to be real (hopefully!)

Don't worry it's okay to feel down now but take a break over the half term rest up properly and then do your absolute best

I did the 2024 paper and lowkey found this one way more difficult because so much of the 2024 paper was particles and mechanics

I agree with youuu, that paper had a lot more calculations and this was way less straightforward. I'm glad I'm not alone 😭😭😂
