Mathematics/Chemistry can be challenging, but it’s definitely doable. Here’s what worked for me — and it might work for you too:
Have a positive attitude towards maths. Believe that you can improve with time and effort.
Practice regularly. After each lesson, go over what the teacher taught that same day. Practicing immediately helps you remember and understand better.
Use past papers. They help you understand how maths exams are set and prepare you for real exam conditions. Try solving them and check how you perform.
Ask for help. Talk to your maths teacher often, and also reach out to classmates who are good at maths. I found that sometimes learning from friends made things easier to understand than learning from teachers alone.

In the science subjects, to retain content we need to understand the concepts.
Once you grasp the concepts you need to practice using tutorial questions, and past papers.
Set achieveable targets for yourself.
Share your targets with your mentors so that they can assist. Teachers love proactive students……try them.
