I'm a senior in high school, and my math grade keeps staying at level 3. I don't attend a cram school and have gone through past exam papers three times on my own, but my grades just won't improve.
When I look at a problem, the solution comes to mind, but I make a lot of calculation mistakes, and I run out of time so I can't even attempt the later problems. I especially get stuck on function inference problems in calculus.
My Korean and English are grades 1–2, but only math is holding me back, so the regular admission track is difficult. Is there any way to improve in a short time? For reference, I'm putting in 4 hours a day on math.
Among Korean, English, and math, I was also stuck at a grade 4 in math, but during my retake year I went through a concept book again from the very start. I found that making the concepts completely your own matters more than doing past papers three times. Especially in calculus, if your foundational concepts are shaky, you'll get stuck on inference questions. Four hours a day is enough, so try changing your time allocation to a 3:7 ratio between concepts and problems.
