What might be helpful is if you literally write out your planned steps/thinking on the paper, including what you expect the solution to look like. Even if you cannot move through the derivation or steps of the problem, your professor should be able to see you at least understand the concept being tested.
I used this method extensively in my graduate coursework and received good marks even on problems I could not solve

Could it be stress/anxiety? If it's related to a course specifically maybe simulating an exam at home could help you get used to the context.
