Failure in competitive exam even after a drop year

...See more Since childhood I always knew that I'm not a very talented and naturally intelligent student.So i had to work extremely hard to get something which others would get easily.Evverything was going right but suddenly after.class 12th boards i didn't get the percentage that i thought I would,i worked super hard,sacrificed so many things but didn't get the college i wanted. Nevertheless I joined a different college and worked harder this time so that i can pursue my higher studies from the best college in my country.For three years worked extremely hard again sacrificed things refrained from doing fun stuff because I felt that i didn't deserve that since I haven't achieved anything.Couldnt get a rank good enough for my higher studies in the best college. Was determined that I'd take a drop year and prepare again.Even though my results were good in college and i was getting good colleges this time i thought of taking a risk and make good use of this drop year to get into the best college.Yet again i worked hard,this time not leaving anything,gave my everything blood sweat tears as they say,was happy about being super productive,uninstalled and stayed away from any social media didn't meet friends often just studied and i was happy. I'd give mock tests and score.pretty well in them and finally got a little confidence that maybe this time something good will finally happen.But it didn't.The paper was extremely tough and i made such silly mistakes which i have never made before,not like i was overconfident or extremely tensed i just don't know what happened.I was in absolute shock when I saw my response sheet and i how poorly i had performed.performed.I feel like all my efforts all the sacrifices everything that I've done in these 6 months and also before that have gone to waste. I still feel so.And the worst part is i punish myself for it and tell myself that i shouldn't be happy.Evwr since i have stopped smiling.its been four years since I've been genuinely happy or satisfied with myself.I don't know what to do.I don't know what happened and what went wrong.I have always put real efforts when it comes to education and i still haven't got the results of my hardwork.I feel like giving up because if even after trying so hard i keep failing then is there really any hope at all?
