What does "make [something] through" mean? and what's the difference with "get [someone/something] through"?

Actually, the phrase here is to "make it through [something]!" "Make it" means to succeed at an activity, so here, "make it through [something]," means to successfully get to the other side of something or a process. It can also mean to successfully survive, endure, or complete something. "Get something/someone through" is similar! It means to succeed and complete getting someone or something to the other side of something. Ex: I can't get the thread through the needle. Ex: She made it through to the last round of the competition.
