anyone who's taken mat136 and succeeded, how did you do it?

hi, im currently in MAT136, so far its not too bad. the formula are straight forward and the questions do make sense, but sometimes they do which is honestly not shocking. a little bit about my math history, i took mat135 first sem last year and i did not do that well, like i did average. although, i had that grade because i was just in a bad headspace at that time and i didnt know how to navigate or approach univeristy learning (it was my first year). but now that i have gotten adjusted to the uni style, i know i will do alot better just like i did in all my other subject in sem 2. (for ref im a life sci student)

BUT here is my question, if you took mat136 and did well, what was your studying technique or routine? what do you think helped you the most in grasping the concepts taught? what advice would you give me? or what is something you would've done differently and why?

thank you <3
