It's fine. The following is not necessarily an improvement, but it is another way of writing it. If you listened carefully to the teacher the other day, you'll pass the test tomorrow.

Thank you for your response. That was really helpful.

I see a real/indicative mixed conditional is possible. I just wonder why lessons available on the internet only discuss unreal mixed conditionals. Anyway, now I know real conditionals are possible.

Maybe students have more trouble with those. I don't know.
