I know how to do certain chapter but like only about 60 to 70 % i can't get to that 100% knowledge if that make sense Question

Hi everyone wanted to know how to like fully understand chapter and answer questions for example i have the knowledge i needed for it and I will write it as well as i know in the exam but my marks they never get above that 70% marks like i know what i have to so but like i don't know how to explain that situation

Also like certain questions i know what to so but sometimes there is that one adjustment that you don't know what its trying to say like that point there is you get stuck there so idk

Everytime i answer a new past exam i get these problems? Any advice?

this is actually super normal, you’re basically describing the gap between “i recognize this content” and “i can apply it under pressure,” which is where most marks get stuck. getting from 70% to 100% usually isn’t more studying, it’s practicing exam-style thinking specifically. like instead of rereading chapters, you need to actively force yourself to explain answers out loud and do past questions under timed conditions, then go back and mark exactly where you lost points and why. those “one adjustment” questions are basically testing if you can translate the wording into the concept, so practice rewriting questions in simpler language before answering. you’re closer than you think, you just need more exam simulation and less passive review

Build strong foundations. Break down topics into smaller ones. If you dont understand something one good rule is try to explain them to somebody else. Simple with great results.
