Are you able to say to her (and will she listen to), "Mom, when you remind me every day about the test, it stresses me out. I know it's coming up. What can I do to reassure you that I haven't forgotten?"
If that doesn't work, write her a note each day and leave it where she will see it first thing in the morning: Yes mom, I know I have a test, I haven't forgotten.
You could also make a big calendar sheet with the test date on it--in big, red ink: "TEST!!!"--and put it on the fridge. Then she'll know you're thinking about it. Put "Study" or "Work hard" in each school day block leading up to the test and check it off at the end of the day.
One last idea: beat her to the punch. Before she says a thing to you each day, tell her your plan for the day (which includes finishing up work or studying for the test) or ask her for input on what she thinks would be the best thing you could do that day to prepare for your test.
Basically, you just need to reassure her that you do consider it important. She's stressing. If you're like any typical teen, you've only responded so far with, "Yes mom, I know!" That's not reassuring to a parent. Do a little something extra to show you do care about it and she'll probably relax.

It is understandable that you are getting frustrated by your mom, my mom is that way too. I wasn't homeschooled but when she was a chore to be done at home, she would remind me about it a minimum of 5 times a day! It would really bother and annoy me. However, keep in mind that your mother has your best interest on mind. She wants you to do well on your test and that is why she keeps telling you about it, so you can study and know your stuff. If you wish to study without your mother's nagging (and avoid getting into a fight with her) you might want to consider going to the library where you can study in peace and quiet. Good luck!

As a Mom she probably is feeling like she is being tested as well because she is the one responsible for your education.
I would agree with the comment about beating her to the punch by showing and telling her the plans you have for the day. It will let her know you are taking the test seriously!
Best of luck to you!

Your mom seems to care about you a lot, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think she just wants you to pass it with flying colors. My mother is the same way about me going to college. Always asking me about my college choices. I don't mind it though, but it can be stressful. Just let her know that it's stressing you out, and ask her politely not to remind you until the day before.
Best of luck!

Just, gently explain that you know you have a test, you will be ready for it, and not to worry about it. I hate it when teachers overreact about tests and completely over exaggerate their point. I have only had one teacher who doesn't over exaggerate, his tests are always as hard as he says, the open notebook ones are the worst. He is my Bible teacher which is why we never get open Book tests. Good luck.

at the beginning, pregnant is spelled PREGNANT. i think of it rather is totally cool that your mom is letting you call the toddler, and the call for the boy is staggering. i like each and all the girls' names, too. yet i assume my renowned is Emily Elise Montana. i think of I' might like Emily Elise with incredibly much something following it. Emily Elise Peyton, Emily Elise Reagan...Emily Elise is attractive, attractive, attractive!!!

Maybe your perception is skewed. Could it be that she is nagging you because she thinks you are not prepared? Hmmm...
