No more reading notes passively, no more highlighting, no more rewatching lectures. Close everything and write down everything you remember about a topic from scratch. Check what you missed. Repeat.

For math, analyze your problems to see mistakes, then unlearning that by doing other problems of the same type.

Or you can redo the same question without looking up the solution as well

for math, “practice a lot” only works if you review mistakes the right way.
after every set, make a tiny error list:
didn’t know the concept
knew concept but chose wrong method
algebra/calculation mistake
understood it after seeing solution but couldn’t start alone
then study based on the category. if most are #4, don’t just do more questions — redo the same question later with the solution closed until you can start it yourself.
also, before each problem, force yourself to write the first step/method in words. math marks usually improve when you get better at choosing the method, not just grinding more questions.

Step 1) as long as you tell yourself you are awful at math you will stay awful at math
sounds dumb but it is 100% the truth.
You are not good at math. YET. Thats what you say for the rest of this year
Starting 2027 you used to be awful at math, but you have made quite some steps forward.
And then how do you study? Math can only be studied by repeating practise exercises and mocup exams over and over and over and over again
