My Mum Won't Let Me Revise (I have GCSEs in a month)

I have a responsibility to myself that I want to do well in my GCSEs. However, I made the mistake of misjudging how long my revision would take and only started in January. I made a revision timetable and I realised that even after pretty much fully booking each day with revision, it will still be a struggle to catch up.

However my mum's slowly deciding I'm doing "too much" eventhough I've always been a productive person and I've known my workstyle for years, taking breaks, still taking care of my physical hygiene and getting 9 hours of sleep (which is above recommended so definitely enough). It's not too much at all because I would feel burnt out and I genuinely don't.

She's slowly reducing the time I'm allowed to revise for. Usually parents are supposed to do the opposite? And she's treating it like a game on a console or something like it's my treat to do revision and she lets me when I behave? Any suggestions?

When you say she's reducing your revision time, how is she doing this exactly? If it's by encouraging you to do other things but still giving you freedom to go to your room, the revise as usual but tell her you're working out or something.

If it's by forcing you to stay with her so she knows you aren't working, maybe try staying after school in the library an get the bulk of your work done then. I know some schools do revision sessions for so if she's really adamant, you could tell her it's a 'compulsory session' although I doubt she'd go that far if she cares about you.

I know everyone says to have a chat and explain how you feel, and certainly don't underestimate that (make sure you aren't confrontational), but I also know that parents can be ridiculous sometimes and we just have to find ways around it.

That's such a weird thing to read. Person above me suggested libraries and it seems like a good idea. Or revising with friends. Tell her that yall are going to the mall or smth and revise

omg do we have the same mum? mine did the exact same thing
I managed to persuade her to let me study by telling her my mental health would be much worse if I did badly on the exams and also made it pretty clear that it would backfire and I would be doing nothing but stressing when not revising.
if you wanted to be sneaky you could also go for a walk and listen to revision podcasts-that's been really useful for me
