    Math and physics (or any subject that requires calculation) usually requires practice. Applying the knowledge in a short timeframe is different skillset then just having the knowledge.

      That being said, for some people in STEM the homework is >90% of the practice that you need to pass the exams.

      That is, unless it’s topic that’s mainly memorization like medicine or organic chemistry

      You usually don’t have to memorize too much stuff for mathy subjects. At least when I went to uni we were always allowed cheat sheets.

      If you’re the type that can lessen the concepts easily, practice and study might not be as important.
