hey is normal to be dissapointed but don t go crazy....
we all have been there one way or the other.
take your time now,relax,analyze yourself,talk with other people that took good scores on exam,and most important take your time off. you studied a long time your body needs desperately a break.
enjoy hollydays,new year,and starting next year start building s strategy for study.
don tloose your hope and don t loose your faith in you!
You are good,80 is a good score,now take your time off,ok?
