I think the first step that you should do is to take math as a challenge not as a burden. If you keep on telling yourself that you cannot do math because you don't like it, definitely, the results will be unfavorable. But try to think math as a challenge. A challenge doesn't necessarily to be something you like but something that will make you feel fulfilled when you've done it. You can do it! =)

My math teacher told me the following:
- Tests are going to be based on the notes that your teacher gives in class (otherwise, what would the student be tested on?). Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you study your notes well.
- However, studying, especially for math, must not be done passively. You must be active. You can't just flip through your notes and read through them. Re-solve problems in your notes until you have basically memorized how these types of problems were solved.
