Why would you give her a whole day to think about how hard to ground you? Tell her now and see what happens--don't give her time to get creative.
Also, you could get yourself out of some trouble by figuring out some ways you could do better in school and suggesting them yourself (and actually doing them). If it looks like you care and are going to make an effort, she'll be more helpful than punitive. If you tell her the same stuff she heard before, she won't listen to you and will try to figure out what's best for you herself. If you want to have a say in your future, you have to start taking charge of it.

First of all, is your mom really concerned about your grades? Does she expect you to get high grades? Will she give strict 'disciplinary measures' or simply ground you with your bad grades? If the answer is yes to all these questions then I believe it's best to STILL tell the truth and show it to her. Sadly, you have no choice. I mean, you can't hide those bad grades forever...right? It's better to tell it now instead of hiding it until it stinks. Try to be your mom. Choose what case you would want to be in the shoes of your mom:
a.) She finds out the truth now. She gets angry/dissapointed. Overtime, she cools down because there's nothing she or you can do to change your grades. She lectures / disciplines you.
b.) She finds out the truth later. The secret you've been keeping rots already. She gets FURIOUS for not being honest, for possible lying(to hide your grades), for being irresponsible, for having low grades. She lectures / disciplines you. There's a high risk of giving terrible punishments (lol, i was exaggerating). Her trust on you and your academics would weaken.
So, I guess CASE A is the better choice. Case B has A LOT more aweful consequences. Besides, she won't get mad forever! At least you were honest. :D
P.S. Make sure you choose the right time to spilll your grades to your mom. Never choose the day before Mother's day, Mother's day, or the day after it. Tell her when she isn't busy and hot-tempered. Try avoiding mornings so your day and her day won't start bad. Just LISTEN not only hear whatever your mom says after you admit to her. Then tell her you'll assure to do well next time [ you might want to tell her how bad and terrible other student's grades were and you are "somehow" "blessed" for your grades...lol]. Then, go to bed, pray, sleep and forget everything in your dreams. :D

My mom's like that. Write her a notice. tell her which you will not proportion your grades if she would be in a position to't communicate something in a classic, calm voice like accepted human beings. how are you able to communicate WHY you probably did not get as extreme of a grade once you're being placed down? different than math, the only time I have been given undesirable grades became into while my mom and dad have been screaming at one yet another the night in the previous a try or while i became into attempting to jot down a paper.

Just do it. You'll be nervous until u do, and if u wait til right before school, Mom will feel ambushed and might act even worse than if u do it now.
Honesty is the best policy.
Better luck on your Finals!!!

Don't try to get out of it by handing it to her right before you go to school, she is going to be mad at you even more if you do it that way. Just show it to her now and let her b*tch at you for a few minutes.
Start studying and get your grades up you don't need to be failing school!

Either way you are going to have to show them, might as well be now. Your mom might be more upset if you delay. I never have that chance, my parents know when we get our grades and they ask for them the second I come through the door.

ITs probably better showing them to her before you leave, than leaving them on the table as you head out the door, cause that will give her the chance to stew about it all day. At least she will get a couple minutes to yell at you, although she will probably ground you too.

Honestly, I'd just wait as long as possible. My grades aren't the best either, I just wait until my Mom asks for them.

Ask yourself some questions. Are you going to improve them and how? Then be prepared to talk to your mom when you give her your report card.
I use to tell my kids that these are your grades and it is your life that is being effected. What do you want out of life?

You are the only one responsible for the bad grades, so what are you waiting for....
There will be no one else to blame them on....
