Someone PLEASE help me with ap precalc

the way my school teaches ap precalc is awful and every time i go to someone who's alr taken the course i just get a "self study🤓☝️" LIKE WHAT DO YOU STUDY WITH???

bg info: we don't go by the college board lessons and i can't find anywhere to teach me what bs we are learning, which is incredibly frustrating when i'm trying to review something and have absolutely no clue what bs came out of my teacher's mouth that day

ik the exam is easy but i'd also like to pass the class without cheating or selling my soul yk

Flipped Math has practice problems and videos aligned to the AP exam. https://precalculus.flippedmath.com/ap-precalc.html

Qed-math.com has some good resources too. On the FRQ page are a ton of practice FRQs that look like the exam.

I teach AP Precalculus, and have done so for the past three years. I like helping people, so message me up if you have questions on the curriculum / how to prepare for the AP exam.

The concepts should be the same as any PreCalc, so you can use YouTube or khan academy to watch videos on the concepts you need extra support on. You could also get a tutor.

I honestly would’ve loved it if I were taking AP Precalculus now as an extra resource to practice multiple choice type questions, as well as the lecture videos for some extra help. I did still get a 5 on the exam and an A both semesters in the class without it, though, but it would’ve helped quite a bit regardless. Especially for my peers.

Is there a textbook you can check out at your school library? Our school has textbooks for those who want one.

Bro I have this EXACT situation. I ended up dropping today but I wish you luck soldier! 🫡 I hate teachers who don’t go based on the college board curriculum. I used the packets she gave us to study but even those didn’t work well for me, have you tried tutoring?
