You've taken the exam and, at least for now, it's behind you. You should be happy that it is over and try to get your mind off of it for the next several weeks until the results are ready. Until then, it doesn't make any sense to worry about it as worrying will not do anything to change it.
Think about it, let's take both options:
1. Person A takes the exam and worries obsessively about it for several weeks straight, then gets the results where the score = n.
2. Person B takes the exam and is care-free for the next several weeks, then gets the results where the score = n.
Person A and B both received the same exact score of n, regardless of how much they worried about it. As you can see, n is not effected by anything done after the exam. So my question is "which person would you rather be?"
A good friend of mine taught me a long time ago and I've been much better off ever since. It basically means that you should not needlessly worry about the things that you have no control over because it won't change the outcome. If anything, concentrate your efforts on the things which you can make a difference with.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Hey , you collect the same thing as I did .
I have this written the last 4 line on beautiful flower, soothing green light golden one that can hang on the wall, but I worship it at my display fancy table between , in the middle of the house, so I will read , pass by it everythime I am moving front , to back of that part of the house .
I only collect few of them , do not know after good yrs ago , all those good words hanging pictures will disappear & no where to find.
Do post more here to get motivation .
Here another one...
" A Thought For The Day "
.... No-one can choose your mountain
or tell you when to climb....
.........It's yours alone to challenge
at your own pace and time.
below is the sky, mountain , high above the white cloud ,
then very strong stand still Deep Green Evergreen &
tall green grass field
with the " Eagle " flying with the wings fully wide open
towards somewhere .
Thanks bro GGT ,
You remind me to read , look at those words & picture for getting good day everyday again, that I used to do ..Then , I , forget for a while after busy, study or not days.
Definately person B, Do Not worry after done is done, just wish , pary for the best & move on GGT , now, study study for step 2, CS etc.
GL

hey hey hey, i am sorry, i misunderstood this voting thingy!!!! i thought 1 and 2 in the voting meant 1 and 2 descriptions in the first post (GOGETA's) so I chose 2 - means i don't want to worry about the exam once its over.. 
and now i realize the voting is for making this thread sticky 
can i change my response...
or it doesn't matter anyways, because the majority wants to make this thread sticky
i am with you all
ignore my vote above
