Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
In this world of needs (Dārul Asbāb) we adopt means to fulfill our needs. In normal circumstances, our needs are not automatically fulfilled. We thus adopt the necessary means for our needs and thereafter place our trust in Allah Taʿālā for the outcome. This is called Tawakkul.
You studied hard for your exams and gave your fullest. Now place your trust in Allah Taʿālā in the outcome.
If you honestly worked hard and did your best, then be positive. We all have limitations and restrictions. No one is perfect. There is a limit to what we can do. We can’t do it all.
Firstly, thank Allah Taʿālā for giving you the strength to study in the first place. Had He not given you the strength, you would not be able to study. While you await your results, sayاَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّه  (“All Praises are due to Allah”) for your hard work and be positive.
Whatever the results are, be content and happy.
And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best
