Please Correct.

Hi,

Please correct my conversation

- So, how did your exams go up until now? (can you also say: how did it went = if your talkpartner knows to what you're referring to)
* I think I failed at 2 of the 6 exams this week.
* I hope i won't get more than i already have, but again it's too early to judge since we have another week. My situation is precarious; It can still go either way.


Refering to the exams:

 we're only one week in? / we're only one week through? / we're only one week away? / We're only busy for 1 week? (which one is correct?) We still have one more week to go!

Thanks

Which one is correct out of those examples for the following context:

we're only one week in? / we're only one week through? / we're only one week away? / We're only busy for 1 week? and you're already counting how much exams you think you failed?

Thanks

If you are concentrating on the amount of time already passed, you can use

We're only one week into exams. (one week in is probably OK as well.)
We're only one week through is understandable, but not my first choice.
