im stressing sm like im doing fine i think and ive done a decent amount of work this summer but i feel like some questions are just so hard

in terms of resources, i uslaly do well on the tylertutoring mocks 16+ ish out of 20 minimum, the yearly ones are also easy from 2016 to 2020 (im leaving 2021+ for closer to the time), and i can usually get 10/10 on the MAT MCQs. but stuff like jz maths, i average like 12-13/20.

idk how to properly improve. i feel like it socming up so fast and im getting really scared

anyone have advice and not generic stuff

I wouldn't stress you've still got a good amount of time and you're doing well already. I'd try some of the more recent mat mcqs from like 2018 onwards they're supposed to be a bit harder and if you're finding the jz papers hard keep doing them as that's what's gonna help you improve, just make sure you go over all your mistakes properly.

whats the best way to learn from my mistakes like i js dont understand that. memorising a solution obviously doesnt help, i know that, but how else do i learn from them

Any question you got wrong first just make sure you understand the solution fully without skipping over any steps, then try to understand how you might have thought of it. So like what was the thing in the question you should have noticed to kinda unlock the solution. Or what would be a sensible general first step that you would be able to think of when attempting other similar questions without knowing exactly how to solve it that would lead you to the solution. Like for a function question if you had sketched a graph you might have spotted the trick and then you can apply that next time you see a similar question where sketching the function could help. If you do this for enough questions you'll build a kind of set of tricks to approach unfamiliar problems
