Hi mods my board results came out yesterday seeing everyone happy and dancing with their 90+( i got 85) is haunting me(its very competetive like at my coaching and all) what if i dont get an iim and im unable to justify my scores; its not that my parents are presurizing or something but i can see it in their eyes and im just hopeful that id clear the cutoff ( converting is the next step so lets just think its easy) i am clearing the qa cutoff or like miss it by 1-2 questions(2 days ago without revision) now ill give a mock at 2 whichll ig help me gain some confidence, I was dead in VA then somehow did everything and now im very close to cutoffs. I just dont know I feel what if that pressure makes me blank in QA and i even miss the cutoffs; do youll have some tips how to calm down and shut the expections off and gain confidence again

First of all, 85% is genuinely not a bad score, even if it feels like that because of the environment around you. Right now, your coaching atmosphere and comparisons are probably amplifying the pressure much more than the actual situation.
Also, from what you wrote, you are already near the cutoffs even after phases where VA was weak and without being in your best rhythm. That itself means your preparation is not “finished” or hopeless. Your brain is just in an overload state right now.
