I didn't achieve my potential and I don't know why. Or maybe I should stop looking at myself as someone who is clever and accept that I am not. I was confused on a simple question or multiple in science and maths I had a lot more to give.

Hi, don’t look down on yourself as someone who is not clever.
Often not achieving your ‘potential’ in sciences and maths is down to exam technique. You may understand the content but haven’t practiced enough exam technique. I recommend doing past paper questions and topic based questions and writing the questions you got wrong onto flashcards.
If it’s more the content you struggle with, try using YouTube videos or platforms such as save my exams to help make your notes more visual and easy to read

How many past papers have you done and have you regularly reviewed where you went wrong? It's the standard advice you get from a lot of people who achieved 9s in a number of subjects, not just in STEM
If you haven't done many past papers/practiced much, then it's probably a good place to start.
Otherwise, it's a very vague question to ask since there is very little information to go on e.g. what's the context? Is it just for a specific question or a regular pattern that you see? What are your study habits and strategies? Do you go to study groups? Do you ask your teachers questions and feedback often?
