She judges too quickly. She thinks if you fail one you should leave altogether because its too much for you. My whole family did btec and yeah she did get to higher education. She expects you to pass exams without revising. She says if you stress you shouldnt study.

Sheesh, sounds like she's just defensive of her imaginary spot as 'smartest child' of the family, in that case.
If you go on to further education she'll have to compete with you.
Everyone stresses. And you need to revise for A Levels. So she's just trying to put you off challenging her, by the sounds of things, by making you feel like there's something wrong with you.
If you got good grades at A Level then f what she thinks. :tongue:

Some people have education sorted, in that they have a great memory, a good approach to revision, and the motivation to do well. Other people find it more of a chore, and have to really really work at it. Perhaps that's what she means.

But having to work harder doesn't mean you're "not cut out" for it, so long as you are willing to put the work in I mean.
