Programming Interviews

So in my job search I've learned something important - I'm really really really bad at programming tests and interviews. Actually, I'm pretty decent at standard algorithms/data structures-related questions that come up on phone screens, but I'm awful when it comes down to ironing out the details and dealing with edge cases. Just now I horribly failed a take-home test and I feel like total shit right now.

I realize I need more practice, and I've heard from a lot of people that TopCoder's practice rooms are a great way to do it.

Here's the problem:

I find the problems, even the lower-point ones, to be WAY too fucking hard. Is there a similar place with problems that are easier, or at least less math-heavy?

OP here.
>You might want to consider taking up a different profession.
I've actually been working as a web developer for a year now since I've graduated.

I guess I was too mad to correctly say what I wanted to: the problems I've looked at have been hard, but I have a good idea about how to solve them. I've heard from other places (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35901/interview-programming-test-practice/35906#35906) that the problems that are on TopCoder are harder than almost any interview question you will ever be asked.
