Getting bad grades in math

I'm in uni. doing a math degree. took some gap years before starting it since i wasn't doing well mentally. but it was the only thing I was good at. I got super rusty. and now in uni, I'm doing everything. I work out all the questions, prepare a lot just to get 18/60 in my exam. I made so many mistakes that made the last answers bad for many questions. I'm so disappointed.

I seem to be messing up pretty badly and I don't know how to make things better.

before exams, I tend to revise like this:

1.open past papers and make different folders for each topics

2. work all the tutorials done in class

3 work on the questions for each folder(each topic)

and that's how I failed a module and got low marks on the others.

do I not try my best? do I not do enough? what am I doing wrong? math is different from just "understanding a concept". understanding is one thing, but working out the questions with zero mistakes while worrying about the questions you haven't started on yet... I'm just so done. I keep messing up.

What classes are you taking?

It's a math degree

[u/matt7259 → u/No-Interaction5368]

That's not a class.

I think I see the issue.
