I'm a terrible fucking test taker. Like, I do all my homework, readings, etc, and generally do fine on quizzes, but I just completely fuck up when it comes to midterms and final exams. Does anyone else experience the same? How do I fix this?
Well it's either because anxiety or because the tests are much harder than homework and quizzes. Which one is it? Like, can you not solve a problem during a test that you could figure out before or after it? Or the test is just harder / different from stuff you've done for homework and quizzes?
If it's anxiety consult a specialist. You may need medication. If it's difficulty try to find out what kind of problems the test consist in and study harder until you can solve those problems. Start with last years exam subjects.
Do you do practice tests and exams as part of your study?

It doesn't seem like the tests are particularly harder than hw and quizzes. I do get nervous, but isn't that normal for major tests?

No.

That's where you're fucking up. In exams you're not doing a quiz and you're not just regurgitating what you know.

Normal as in it's common but it's pretty silly and impacts your performance massively, especially yours from the sound of it. Adjust your mindstate to having fun and not giving too many fucks about it.
Also what about time, do you struggle to finish the shit on time?
