My advice is a little different, as repetition of similar problems never helps me with this class. I'm getting an A so far (after 2 tests and tons of homework problems).
I draw out pictures for every single concept and formula we get. I go through the chapter and conceptualize everything visually with colorful lettering for each variable and colored parts of each picture that relate to what the variable is or does. My velocity v is orange, my acceleration is always blue, then I derive/draw out the equations with the same colors so the arrangement is visually "burned" into my brain. That way, you don't have to waste time referencing the formula sheet.
By now I've accumulated tons of pages of colorful drawings, full of cartoons of all sorts of real world situations. An example would be a bat, ball, and clock I sketched out with the bat "moving" toward the ball from t0 to tf. The bat is shaded with orange marker with the equation for impulse directly above it in orange (with the rest of the variables in their assigned colors). The ball labeled with a purple "m" is coming towards the bat (labelled vi) and shown going away from the bat (vf) with the the trajectory colored in and the equation for conservation of linear momentum drawn to the side of it in the same color as the trajectory. Each picture-filled sheet covers a bunch of interrelated concepts. The one I'm working on now covers uniform circular motion and gravitational forces. I have planet Earth with a satellite orbiting around it, a person on a scale inside the satellite, the vectors for free fall acceleration and centripetal force and the equations for true weight and apparent weight on it. You'll have a study guide (a huge packet!) that allows you to look back and instantly understand what you previously learned. Also, I find that just creating the picture allows me to understand the concept for every type of problem I'm thrown (they're all pretty much the same in physics if you know the underlying principle!) and remember it forever... well, at least I haven't forgotten how to solve anything from previous chapters yet. It makes repetition pretty much useless, which is awesome if you have ADD and get incredibly bored with repeating the same stuff. I still do the hundreds of homework problems 'cause we have to turn them in for credit, but they go quickly after the initial picture drawing phase.
Repetition and following the professor's orderly steps might be easier for you though, depending on your learning style. This method works brilliantly for me... the people who make fun of my cartoons don't laugh when the tests come back, haha.
The best physics textbook for algebra-based physics, which someone recommended on these forums, is by Cutnell. Ditch the one your prof uses if he never takes problems out of it for tests and homework. You can ask him if he does - by now I guess you'd know already.
Physics youtube videos can really help you understand concepts and calculations, too.
