rekt.. you should definitely know the mark you think you get before stepping into the exam hall... if not, that's a problem in itself
I sort of agree with this. If you have been doing past papers, you should be able to estimate your mark before you even sit the exam. Providing its a reasonable exam not something like James ruse

definitely true after doing 60 past papers LOL

bit late but try understand the content - be able to derive everything on the spot so you don't have to memorise so many formula (except for really obvious ones like quadratic, but even quadratic you should be able to derive it) this honestly takes years

past papers and if u have 100% understanding should be getting almost 100% unless u can't use calculator/copy questions wrong/draw wrong diagram/can't multiply/can't add/0=6 etc every past paper u will find a mistake and the next ones you should really try not make that same mistake again.

Constantly do papers and read the question carefully!
Yes reading the question is very important lol. I always find myself just staring there asking myself "what is v?" And it's the first thing in the question lol

Maybe you're not doing the past papers properly by like making sure you know how to do the questions you got wrong and not just checking it once but over and over again
