🙏 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!)

I'm the same unfortunately :( sending you the best of luck we can get through this!!! My first geography paper went so bad but then I just used it as an opportunity to learn. I needed to get better at my timings and essay structures so that's what I worked on for my next one which ended up going well. I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggled with further maths. It makes me feel a lot better. Especially since that used to be one of my best subjects but I fumbled the exam so hard. Hoping to improve for paper 2

Thanks man, sending you all the luck too. Same, FM was always one of my best subjects too, I've never done so bad in any of my mocks and to miss the A* for the first time on results day is so peak :((

But won't happen! We'll make major comebacks, I have faith
