English exam did i screw up??

So i did the exam on wednesday and i think I must've screwed up coz eventhough i had a decent amount of evidience for comparative and text response i only did an intro, 2 really long bodies and a conclusion for each essay and my argument analysis was probably okay (since i did that essay first). I'm wondering what this might mean if I only wrote an intro, 2 long bodies and a conclusion for my comparative and text response, does that mean i have a likely chance of failing those essays?? Honest thoughts would be appreciated.

Okay, so I've never done English, but I can offer you some advice.
1. I think you'll be fine. Calm down and breathe!
2. As I usually say, "You can't change the past, you can only change the future." What's done is done. You just have to hope for the best now.
3. Quality > quantity, remember?
Hope that helps. Please note that I only intend to be of assistance and only wish the best for you. 

EDIT: I know it's hard, but try to remember the positives of what you wrote and move on to your next exam. Post-exam stress is a nasty lingering monster that will continue to gnaw at your mind if you let it. Try to perform better on your next one, same with the one after that and so forth!

Look I really don't know what mark you'd get, it might not have tooo much of an effect if the bodies are good but I think they do prefer at least three. I'd definitely say you won't 'fail' though as long as the essays are decent; that said, again, I know not much and I could be completely wrong heh.

I can't see you failing if they made relevant points, but it does sound pretty basic.
