How do I get good at math/physics?
I've always been terrible with everything involving numbers with the exception of (some parts of) chemistry, and now that I'm studying for college it seems I'm getting my ass beaten again (no, I'm not underage, I just stayed away from education for a few years). How do I get good at this shit? I NEED to get good at this, the entry grade for my course is pretty high and my proficiency in humanities and biological sciences aren't enough.

I try to but I almost always get the answer wrong and can't manage to learn how to get to the results.

Study, study, and more study. Watch YouTube videos, and ask help from your teacher.

Try to understand the concepts then solve some problems

Understand the concepts. Only use raw memory for the very basic stuff and maybe a couple specific and frecuent cases.
In math: try to translate it into real world situations. Earnings and debt are a good concrete representation that you can use.
In physics: be sure to understand how the variation of each relevant property changes the state of the system. If you have 2 bodies in a vaccum and double the separation between them, how does that affect the gravitational pull? what if you double the mass of one object? etc.
And yeah, doing many exercises is the way to go. But learn concepts and methods, not just the answer to an specific case.
