What you have to do is understand what you did was wrong. and obviously there will be consequences for your actions. And if you have a heart to heart conversation with your mom and explain that you know what you did was wrong. You cheated because.. and think deep. Why did you cheat? was it because you didn't feel you studied hard enough? was it to take the easy way out? once you have thought long and hard about why you did what you did,. you will know how to move on from this, and not do it again.

Well what's done is done and now you have to face the consequences. You have to be honest with your mother. Will she be mad at you? Probably. Will she get over it? Probably. Question is have you learned your lesson from this? I think the thing to take away from this is don't cheat!

And Mom has the right to be pissed off so let her do so. When the shock and disappointment wear off, she'll likely be more in a state of mind to discuss this calmly with you.
What really matters is whether you are sorry that you dissappointed Mom and did something you knew was wrong or whether you are only sorry for getting caught. We all do crazy things as kids, some dangerous and even deadly. What you did, I hope you know can be just a one time experience that you will learn by and never repeat.
It matters a lot if you can own up to your mistake and how you feel about it, with Mom. A promise to not do so again isn't going to be good enough now that trust is broken. So until you regain Mom's trust by following the rules perfectly without incident for as long as it takes her to trust that you really did learn from it and that behavior will never repeat, you are just going to have to put up with whatever boundaries Mom sets and accept them without complaint. It might help to admit that you realize Mom might not be able to trust you now but you hope that whatever goals she sets up for you that you can accomplish and pass, doing whatever it takes to regain her trust. That would be the mature thing to do. Good luck dear.
