f(x)=y? That is the only thing in functions so far that is confusing me... I don't know why they cannot just say "y". The only part of math I don't like is Probability, mainly because I mess up permutations and combinations all the time.

I find most of the time it's not about whether you are good at a subject or not, but rather whether you have the "exam-handling-techniques". Some of the tips I got over the years are:
1) study for your last exam subject first, then study for your second last exam second and so on. You will end up studying last for your first exam. Once you finish your first exam, you only need to refresh your memory for your second exam and so on.
2) make sure you have at least half a day to relax the day before the exam date. Go for a movie or something. At this point, you've already done all you could. Stressing about it in the last minute won't do you any good on the exam day. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before!
3) During the exam, read all the questions first, so you know what to expect and how much time you need to allocate to each questions/sections. Answer the easy questions first and go back to the difficult ones so you won't miss out on points that you can get.
There are lots of "exam-handling'techniques" which I am sure you will be able to discover from your peers or teachers.
Best of luck!

I'm so glad I've finished school. I can sympathize with you. I have found that skill in taking tests is at least as mportant as knowledge of the subject. I agree with William's recommendation #3 but not his other recommendations. Good luck!
