Hello! First off I want to say, congratulations on the 23/25!! I’m proud of you as that’s amazing and you should hopefully be as well! Grading systems change all the time so it could’ve been easier in the past to get high grades and I would say it’s harder now. In my opinion, as hard as it is, you shouldn’t compare the start of your journey to anyone else’s. You are trying your best and that’s all that matters as your grade doesn’t define you- You’re not a failure. Im sorry to hear about your mum, it sounds like she has very high expectations of you and that can be very difficult to cope with but like I said, 23/25 is really really good! In my experience, Even if your mum doesn’t support you, you trying to be better with every grade is more than good enough! Please congratulate yourself and don’t let your mum get to you because you are doing so well!! My messages are always open if you wanted any support :smile:

23/25 IS GOOD! ofc it may not be what u want it to be but there's always room for improvement. u said u study pretty hard, that good! just keep doing that. keep trying u'll get to where u want to be in the end. the most important thing is to not give up. NEVER THINK UR A FAILURE!! if ur not getting ideal results maybe u should change something in ur revision technique.
active recall
flashcards
quizlet
mindmaps
PAST PAPERS (RLLY IMPORTANT)
just try everything and see which one works best for u. u got this <3
