Need help in overcoming my fear of math 😭

Hello all! I’m looking for some insights into how I can better study math as an adult. I am preparing for a competitive exam where I am expected to study high school level of math but I am really dreading it and I want to understand how I can get past my fear.

So in school, I was an intelligent student scoring near full marks in subjects such as History, Geography, Languages and Business Studies. I scored decently in math too, just not as good as other subjects.

Even now, when I think of doing math, I always end up rushing head first into questions, making silly mistakes, and I am unable to apply logic to solve questions, relying on memory instead.

I want to crack the art of studying math to ace this competitive exam. Please help me 😭
