I'm in my last semester of an RN to BSN program through the local university. One of my courses is pharmacology and it is very hard. We have to pass a calculation exam to pass the course, the lowest score we can get is a 75% and we have two chances to pass it.
When I took it I was in such shock, the questions were not what I expected or studied for at all. No, it wasn't rocket science but it was a slap in the face because #1 I'm not good at math and #2 I'm not good at math.
Anyway, I was sure I failed miserably. I agonized over the second try and though about how embarrassing it would be to fail out because of that calculation exam. Apparently, I was not alone, many students had already gotten their scores and had failed, some very badly. So, I was really feeling defeated. But I got my results back and the teacher congratulated me on scoring the highest grade in the class. Though it was only an 83.3%, I won't have to take that dreaded calculation exam again.

Good job! It goes to show that you shouldn't get yourself worked up after the test, just wait for the score. I usually treat myself to a movie after my tests. :) To get my mind off it.
