Math is like learning any other motor skills. Repetition is key. You need to practice the "standard" problems to the point where you don't even have to think about how to solve them.
Once you're brain starts to understand the basic concepts inside out, you need to think of harder variations of those problems (usual the word problems) which are not so straight-forward anymore. This is what separates an A student from the B's.
If you want to earn an A, you need to study as long as it takes to become a master at it. For some, this is 30 minutes, for others it may be 2 hours daily. It depends from student to student and their motivation to do well in the course.
If you ever decide to move on to post-secondary, you will quickly realize that the duration of study doesn't really mean much in the end.

The reason I didnt do the homework is that the questions felt so easy and it felt like I understood everything...
