The happiness and sadness of a band 5

Today, I got my MUET results. In fact I knew the results at midnight today (1am something). I have received an sms reply stating that I got a band 5 for myself. For the first moment I felt surprised, I have never expected myself to get a band 5 after making so many mistakes in the reading paper. Imagine that you get more than 15 wrong answers when you normally get only 5 wrongs. This is the feeling I had before I knew my results. I was even afraid that I can't even get a band 4. However, it turns out great. I have achieved a band 5, although it is a super low one (225 marks in total).

Ironically, after thinking much, I started to feel sad. I am sad because those mistakes caused me to be unable to get a band 6. I am just a mere 35 marks short. I could have get a band 6 if I did better in reading and speaking component. It was my mistake. Now I am going to consider whether to retake the test again. I might get a band 6 by then, who knows?? Most of my friends are taking it again, why don't I take it again so that I can still join them while studying...hmm...this must be taken into serious consideration. One wrong move can cause my future to be wiped out...

This is the picture of my slip:
