How to help feeling like I dont understand a subject when I get good scores?

I feel like I don't understand some of my subjects like History and English, but in my history prelim I got 93% and in my English prelim I got 87%. How can I stop feeling like I'm bad at the subject when I do well in tests?? It really puts me off for my exams

Hey!
I totally get how you're feeling. You actually did really well in your prelims, 93% in History and 87% in English, even the percentages can speak for themselves! The key is learning to trust in your strengths and not let doubts hold you back. When you feel unsure about a subject, it’s easy to forget how much you’ve achieved. But the prelim results show that you do understand the material and are doing great. For example I didn't expect to pass my Modern studies and my English prelims but guess what? I passed and got the grade I wanted and this made me so happy. If there's something specific that's making you unsure, feel free to ask your teachers or do some extra practice at it. Just stay focused and know you've got the ability to keep doing well.:console:
P.S.: If you don't mind answering, what year group are you in?
