Math Help!?

I have a really big problem. Whenever I have a test, I feel I understand everything and know how to do everythign on the test. I usally do all the MAJOR craming the night before, but I usually understand what we do in class. But when I take the test, whenever I see hard problems that kinda make me use my skills I learned in the unit , I ALWAYS get it wrong and my overall score is a C. What am I doign wrong????????? I am pretty good at math for the most part.

Math Help!?
well instead of cramming the night before the test, try studying fifteen minutes every day a week before. that always helps me remember things better
Reply:I have the same problem. I know the content and am making 100%'s and straight A's on all assignments, but when it comes to tests, I freak out. It's called test anxiety. While I'm on medicine for anxiety and my test grades were higher than 80% on tests before the medicine, I am now back to making 95%'s and 100%'s as I should be. Thank anxiety. :-( Hope this helps! ;-)
Reply:If you are having that much trouble with your math, maybe you shouldn't be cramming the night before. Whenever I have a math test, I split up the chapter and do two units per night on the days leading up to the test. And on the night before the test, I only review all of the problems which I had trouble with when I was going over the problems in the nights before. And you may know everything and understand everything but in math, you still need to practice if you ever want to do well.
