The prof gave us this online time limited test of 1 hr (Biochem) on the Internet. It had so many tricky Qs. Some of them I was partially right but the real answer was All The Above. The calculation problems were also so scary that I could barely look at it without feeling anxiety and I couldn't think straight so I did not do well on those although I did practise on them beforehand. It was an open book test but some Qs were not so explicit and it wasn't as if i could be certain that one was the choice. It is still wrong if you did not choose the best choice, even though it was right.
I didn't even finish all the Qs bc of my lack of confidence.
I have other courses to attend to but I can't forget about it for now. I really have no coping skills. Any secrets to cheering yourself and working at another course.
I feel like I have to drop all the courses and only take Biochem bc I can't stop thinking about my failed test. How do I gain some confidence on this?

Just let it go and tell yourself you will do better next time. Or ask other people in the class how they did. If it's an online class, they usually have a bulletin board where everyone in the class can communicate. Most likely, everyone else in the class found it hard too!
And if it was the first test of the semester, that's an even better excuse for not doing well!!! Because the first test is always the hardest. You don't know what to expect.
Just be more confident. Study even more than you did next time. Learn from your mistakes. Pay more attention in class.
Good luck.

Don't be discouraged by failure. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes. Some of the most famous people in the world were plagued by setbacks, but they didn't let those things deter them from reaching their goals. There's an old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Let that be your password to success. In the future, let's hope that your next tests will not have a lot of trick questions. That's really not fair, and not a true barometer of your hard work. Good luck next time. Keep on trying, and eventually you'll reach your goals.

Just say whatever, it's just one test.
