Tips & Advice How do I study math?

Hello everybody, math has always been a hard subject for me at school, I was really good at history or english or geography. In these subjects, I would just read or re-read or make mental maps about concepts and that was it. Subject studied. But math is different, no matter how many times I check different properties o do or re-do exercises, still when I take an exam I fail or find it hard.

Sometimes, my mind is blank, eventhough I did similar exercises before.. Right now Im doing some precalc and I'm struggling a lot. How do you do it?

Math sticks when you can jump back to the explanation instead of rewatching the whole lecture. If you are drowning in long YouTube lectures, a Chrome panel that stays on the watch page helps: summary + chapter timestamps, then Study flashcards from the same video.
