I have to go through the same thing. Over here we have the ACT and SAT. Well, I am pretty smart, so people expect me to have some high score, but my score was not real good. I studied and even took prep classes, but none of them helped. I have testing anxiety problems that hindered me from getting a good sscore on a timed test. None of my relatives took the time to undrestand that. They just wanted to know my GPA and test scores to compare to their children. They don't tell my parents what their children did/ do, but they always ask about me. Even now when I am in college they still ask for my GPA, major, and everything. When my mom tells them that she's undecided they laugh about and look scornful. Now I do know what I want to do, but my parents do not share any of my grades or anything with my relatives. Maybe your parents should do the same. It's really none of their business or their place to comment. I understand what you are going through because I have gone through it and still am. Your parents are supporting you and that is what matters most. Sometimes you just have to ignore people and listen to your heart. I understand how low you must be feeling though. What helps me is talking to my friends and hanging out with them. Also, I listen to music that makes me happy and engage in other activities. Like a job or extracurriculars at my college. It makes me feel good.

awww .. don't blame yourself though ... i have the same so-called relatives issue as you over a different topic. My relatives are also picky about my career, especially my uncles.
