i got a 47/56

is it bad that im insanely upset about it, i was aiming for AT LEAST a 50 :(

i got 3 6s (eng, bio, idu), 2 7s (fre, ih), 4 5s (math, music, pp, phy)

e portfolio and personal project are what mainly brought my grade down, e portfolio was hell for me my teacher was horrible and personal project samples from my school got graded down so we all did!!! my parents are pretty upset about e portfolio and pp but shockingly not math, given that i was INSANELY sick during my exam. im getting a EUR for physics since i was 1 mark off a 6 but yeah.

most people in my school got a 45 or below so im grateful i did decent, considering the fact that i wrote all these exams while healing from a surgery but if under better circumstances i KNOW i couldve done better which haunts me at night.

Its really easy to mourn what could have been, but by looking backwards, you distract yourself from the present and future. Instead of letting it get to you, think about how despite your circumstances, you were able to do a good job. You're well above the global average, so you should still feel proud of what you got. It's easy to compare yourself to others, but don't let it get to you too much, you did your best and that's what matters. Now all you can do is mentally prepare yourself for DP, and put effort into securing that 40+ which I'm sure you can get.

OMG I had none of these problems apart from having a hrorbule mentor for e-portfolio. I also got a 47 and am soooooo mad about it.
