You're not low iq, friend. You sound pretty intelligent and driven. They're not easy tests and everyone that makes them look easy has done a ton of preparation.

You're not low iq, friend. You sound pretty intelligent and driven. They're not easy tests and everyone that makes them look easy has done a ton of preparation. People spend 4 years in university to get through + countless nights practicing leetcode to ace those tests. You're your worst critic by far. Maybe you are expecting too much too soon and panicking that it has not arrived yet. Maybe there is a path to FAANG that looks different then you think. And, I would ask you also, why FAANG, not any other great job?
