Hi, I’ve always had trouble doing physics and doing well in my tests. My average score on the tests are usually a 50%. It’s not that I don’t understand the concept but that I have huge amounts of trouble in applying them in a timely fashion. When I learn a hard science like physics, I need months to fully master the master the material, not weeks like I have in the quarter system at my school. My professor has suggested I do a bunch of practice problems before the test to get acquainted with the material, but I did well over 100 problems for my last midterm and still feel like I only got through half of the problems well.

How do I do well in a class I always do badly in?
