Please give me advice. whenever i study i study long and do a million types of problems how ever i just do s bad on the tests. its nothing to do with anxiety or any of that crap. i genuinely don't know the material, but i know it good enough before the test. for chem for example, i do many many problems of each category and i feel i know it, then test comes and i know nothing.
this only applies to the math type stuff, general bio and science classes i do fine.

You gotta study smarter. instead of just droning on and reading the same material over and over, break it up.

What works for me is to make note cards with short simple pieces of information. Make a big stack, and if you know the data put it in one stack, and if not put it into another. Good way of studying what you don't know, instead of letting your brain be lazy and skipping to the same stuff you know. This is natural and hard to fight.

When it comes to math, practice. Work different kinds of problems dealing with the same math subject. What helped me become better at math was using it in my daily life.

Just practice. Teach it to someone else, do EVERY PROBLEM in the back of the book, try your best to emulate real testing conditions. Go to your professors office hours to maybe talk about how you could do better and look over your test.

It really depends on the class. I always found, for math based questions, you just gotta practice
