Hi Racer,
You are so clever. The other students probably think you're bonkers for being concerned about your Psych score. Well, it's over now, and it's out of your hands. And you studied well, and you will do fine. MAth... always freaked me out, but if you've tried hard and you're not happy with your grade, you should think about what the grade means to you. It's just a label. A summary for your performance on assignments. It might be related to how well you learned, and how much you learned, but it doesn't have to be. Think about what you got out of the class. Where you were a few months ago, and how far you've come. Think about it like a hurdle. Maybe you nicked your ankle when you jumped over it? Maybe you fell on your bum? So what? In the grand scheme of things it's one test. And then... It's over. a few minutes in the vast space-time continuum. And you can't go back and do things differently, but you can come to peace with how you did. And if you did happen to fall on your bum, you have extenuating circumstances. (like emotional lability). Give yourself a break! If you think it affected your performance enough to tell the profs about it, then tell yourself the same thing. Say to yourself "Hey Racer, your emotions are kind of all over the place. You kind of got distracted on that 3rd question. Your eyes were leaking for some reason. Maybe it wasn't the best exam ever, but it was good enough, and you learned a lot from the class after all."Have a happy friday
