Did you do your best on your test or did you just slack off?
If you did your best, a month is too much, if you slacked off then it fits.

@OlderDude I kind of did my best Sir, but of course I could always had learned some more.

You can always have 'done better' we are human, not machines. If you honestly did the best you could, then that is too harsh.
You need to see where you struggled and then focus there to learn that part better.

@OlderDude I do that for sure Sir. Moms super strict, she always wants us to be perfect, or close by anyway.

How about you strive to honestly do the best you can at what your doing, instead of trying to achieve that false idea of perfection? I am a perfectionist at heart, and that has just brought me nothing but anxiety and depression at not achieving the rediculous standards I put in place for myself. So now, I do my honest best. And try to find your passion, then you will automatically do your best because you will love what it is your doing
Your mom needs to relax a bit too, start to celebrate the victories instead of punishing the misses.
Your doing great, and so is your mom. Shes trying to get you on a good path, but punishing doesnt ever lead to long term success. It just leads to isolation
