Should I be concerned at this result?

So I got my U1/2 results back and did bad in exam 1, the exams covered both unit 1 and 2 but I found that exam 1 focussed a lot more on unit 1 and exam 2 focussed a lot more on unit 2.

So I got 56% on exam 1 but 90% on exam 2, I'm a bit confused on what to do? Am I good at maths or am I shit?

I know that the arc length and area of a segment stuff wasn't something I knew very well which I'm certain I lost marks on but not 44% worth of marks?? I asked my teacher for my exam back but what do I do now?

Fucking pissed myself laughing at the two options in this question hahahaha

Honestly, don't stress at all. If you had studied Unit 1 a bit more and done a few Unit 1 practise exams, I'm sure you would have got 90% in that as well.

Now think of what will happen in Units 3/4 when you study both units hard before the exams and do 15 practise exams for each exam. lol.

Take a deep breath and watch some Khan Academy ;)
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Its so much easier to be a 90% student and end up with a lower score 56% rather than a 56% student getting 90%. Marks don't just come out of nowhere. You are probably pretty good. Maybe ask for the class average for a better guess as whether exam 1 was just really hard and everyone's score got nerfed.
