I would tell the truth. Lieing will only get you even more in trouble.

I used to say, "Mum, I got an E for Physics again". She went lightly on me as my mother understands even less than I do.
Look, you can't be good at everything. The only thing your mum is going to be bothered about is whether your grade has suddenly dropped from what it was last time. If you have done your best then tell her. If you haven't then keep quiet and sit back in silence as she sounds off.
I had a Geography teacher at school that used to give me an A one term and then a D another. The guy was a clueless alcoholic that used to use his computer to work the grades out based on some kind of unfathomable algorithm. Just tell her you'll try harder next term and hope that you fluke it next term.

Go to your teacher first and ask is there is anything you can to improve the grade, like extra credit work, or re-take a test or do a special report. If your teacher says yes, then do it and tell you mom that you got a bad grade but that you are working to improve it. If teacher says no, tell your mom that you tried to improve it but couldn't but you're working harder from now on.
If this is an unfair grade, then tell you mom why it was unfair and have her set up a meeting with your principle to discuss it.

You must be pretty upset yourself,otherwise you would'nt be posting this question. Ask yourself why you got a rubbish grade. Start making an action plan on how your going to improve the grade and discuss this with your mother. If you don't go to her with an action plan of your own,then she will make one for you. If you don't "own" the plan,then your not likely to carry the plan through to the end
Ps Be prepared for an ear bashinga and just stand there and listen. The moment she starts to calm down,then hit her with your action plan..........Don't actually hit her,of course :)

Tell her the truth! Tell her you tried your best, or that you think the grade was unfair.
If neither is true, and you just didn't try hard enough, tell her that and also that you will try harder next time because you don't want to disappoint her again.
Good luck. Don't listen to people who tell you that school years are the best in your life. I like working and having money to do with what I want! But play the game and get the grades, and you will have more opportunities later.

Just tell her kid, the truth always gets out. Why decieve her now and have good days just to have her find out later and all hell breaks loose? get it over with and see it's not the end of the world. Do better next time. My kidz have brought some disappointing grades before me too, I speak my mind without losing my cool. I tell them I know they can do better and I expect them to do better and we move on. You're worried because YOU know it wasn't your best effort, but if it was your Mom will empathize with you. Your honesty will be appreciated, trust her to show you that mean more than the grade.

Tell her.
Why did you get a bad grade? Did you study hard enough? If you didn't, then when you tell your Mum you can tell her what steps you are going to take to get a better grade in future.
If you did your best, & genuinely feel you couldn't of done anymore (studied, worked harder), then tell her that. We can't all be good at everything.
I guess only you know if you could of done better?

Be open and honest with her. Be sure when you tell her about your grade to let her know that you are eager to improve it; so tell her you need help in whatever subject you are getting "rubbish" grades in. This way she will probably be cross with you about the grade, but she will appreciate that you are seeking to improve.

The best thing to do is wait until she's in a relaxed mood and just come out and say it. If you tried your best and there is stuff you don't understand say that BUT if you know its because you didn't study just promise to do better next time. Then kind of stay out of her space for a while.
Whatever happens don't talk back if she's upset she's your mother and she's just concerned about your future.

Tell the truth otherwise it'll eat away at you. Just say I'm sorry Mum and I really tried but this is the grade I got. I promise I'll work harder.
Be really mature and then hopefully she won't be mad at you. If you act like someone who's truly sorry and who truly wants to do well at school, then it'll be ok.

Tell her that Einstein did poorly in school as well.
True.
Good luck.
Grades do not make the person. Find what you enjoy and do that and believe me, you'll start getting the good grades.
