I don't want to be handing out too many advises in a day but couldn't help replying to this.
Read your own words first, you know you missed a couple of colleges by a whisker.. First of all you should draw some inspiration from this itself that all you need to make it through this year is just those 1-2 extra marks or percentile points.
Fluctuations in performances will keep on happening, just focus on the highs saying that this is what I can achieve or maybe something even better than this..
A year more of experience won't a guarantee a better/worse result as such, it can go either way and it will depend upon how you perform on that particular day, and you have mentioned results of 5 exams, and I certainly feel that not all 5 can go bad, so back yourself to deliver at least 2-3 good results, 1 or 2 bad days happen to everyone and that is nothing to be worried about.
All you can do in the mean while is to try a few different approaches to solving mocks or sums, then settle down on one way with which you are comfortable and from there on its just practice that is required.
Just a bit of gyaan: From the start itself don't be ready to take admission into any college you get, set a floor limit for colleges below which you won't go and then push yourself to make sure you get into a college you aimed for.
