Straighten out

Hi,

Can I use these when I need to organise something in my head in order to better understand it?

“I need to straighten out the calculations before the next test.”

“I need to get the calculations straight in my head before the next test.”

“I need to make the calculations clear in my head before the next test.”

Do these work?

Are there any to-go alternatives you can think of?

Thank you.
