Hi , my name is Mark , i am 16 years old and currently on second year of highschool ( out of 3 )
You see i wanna study Computer Science and become a software engineer and it is a no brainer that you need to have good math skills and maybe some physics knowledge as well ,
Anyways i was sure about that path for a long time and i even did a career path test , legit none of the internet ones ofc and it got me a 90% match with CS
The thing is that sometimes in some tests or exams i will either do excellent or really really bad
Like today we had exams on Math which were on a topic different than algebra(saying this to point out that i am better in algebra than the kind of math we did but i actually went pretty bad on my algebra exams as well 2 weeks before even though i am one of the top students in algebra) , and i wrote less than 50% which is really bad but in my class or in private lessons i will always do really good . I cant really explain it but to sum it up i am always really good at class , i always do the hw correctly but at exams i tend to do horribly and that goes for Math , Algebra , Physics and Chemistry
i can solve as homework many difficult or challenging problems but on tests or exams even though my friends who are like me find it easy and do well i will do horribly and they will mock me calling me braindead or a <<edited by moderator>>( as a joke ofc )
It has been done so many times that i actually think i must be stupid to not be able to do well like them and all the other kids that want a path completly different than mine with nothing to do with math and still they do better than me and i am starting to think that even though i understand math , algebra , physics and chemistry and i love solving problems and i really like to code , cs maybe is not for me.To this point my whole confidence has been torn apart by my consistent bad grades and my friends mocking me .I really have nowhere else to turn to for advice so please help me
