Any brainlets on /sci/ who were bad at math/stats and turned it around? How did you do it? I seem to study forever, but when I get to answering a question, I just completely go blank.
There're various ways to increase intelligence. Image streaming aids in improving one's ability to synthesize information via strengthening the integration of various neurological spaces when thinking, which can bleed into analysis. Geniusintelligence.com also has a practice which boosts mathematical reasoning. It involves combining symbols and numbers in part of a mathematical addition sequence, but conditions the brain to think in terms of symbols = numbers, via representing numeracy in different formats. It's EXTREMELY effective at increasing computational speed, but like I said, facilitates the symbolically based computations of higher mathematics too
It is worse to be lazy asshole than a hardworking brainlet.

Supposing you really do study sufficiently, you just need to train yourself to stop and think. Every time you are presented with a problem, analyze the problem. Identify exactly what it is you are looking at before even putting pencil to paper. Closely examine every piece of information you are given until you understand exactly what is being asked. Even if you don't know the math, doing this can sometimes make it possible to come to a purely logical conclusion without any calculations even being necessary. Make an effort to understand the logic, rather than mindlessly plugging and chugging.

Read Barbara Oakley's book:
A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)
There's research into effective ways to study and retain information.
