Today I had an exam in German. It consisted of two parts - reading comprehension and writing and we had a total of 120 minutes. I can say that I was quite well prepared, because I also went to lessons where we did much more difficult texts. I scored 5 or more on them, which is good, considering how difficult they were (one level above mine). The teacher kept telling me that with such an assessment I could not help but enter one of the two classes in which you have the opportunity to get a diploma in language. Two days before the exam, I was watching a movie about why people fail. It really had a big impact and I just calmed down and I was sure I would manage and the moment of truth came. Reading comprehension was not difficult and I managed to do everything without a single question, but it took me too long - about 50 minutes, after which I breaded! I sat for a long time and did not know what to write on the second task, given that I had not yet written 2-3 questions from the first. I finally managed to write about 300 words on the second, but I didn't give what I was really capable of. I do not attribute it to ignorance, but to panic. I could have performed much better and decently if I hadn't worried and it hadn't paralyzed me. I used very easy and repetitive words, given that I knew a lot of expressions and could defend my position much better, but time just flew fast. Not to mention that I already know about a certain mistake ... and in any case I will have more ... In short, I am very disappointed because I failed. I am ashamed of myself, my family and my teacher. I want to emphasize a few things;
1. For the first time, I failed an exam like this - I froze and made many mistakes.
2. I lost a lot of time worrying.
3. I've never been so worried about an exam before. Always before, but not on him. I think it's because of the movie I was watching, and it said that we shouldn't worry that we wouldn't succeed, and I did that before the exam, but also during.
4. I will have two more sure opportunities to qualify in the upper classes for these groups, but if the same thing happens to me again ... I try not to dramatize because I am convinced that if I think of it and experience it as a failure, I will never I can deal with difficulties and forget them. I believe that this will be an earring in my ear, but I am afraid that my parents may think that I am hiding behind thoughts like "Every evil for good." And the like, although so far they do not quarrel and support me. I know that in principle it is so, but I really had high hopes for a decent performance and in fact many other people did, and I failed. Yes, it's really too early to say how big a failure it is and it may turn out that I did well, despite my writing style, but I'm disappointed. If I had performed better, at least I would have known that I had done my best and not be so stressed.
Please give me some advice or share your experience on the subject, because I am very confused and if I had calmed down at least a little, now I am starting to feel terrible. Help me.

I usually left reading comprehension for last (I studied English). It is better if you have some time in my opinion. The other exercises give more points, and the text with quick glances can still target another answer if you run out of time. Are you sure you failed? Do you have results? You may have done well anyway.
