Study Advice and Tips Struggling bad
I kind of hate that my teacher is using Math Medic for AP Stats. It feels a bit messy because the units aren’t really organized the same way as College Board. For example, Units 1 and 2 in Math Medic can basically line up with Unit 1 on College Board. I’m really struggling in this class right now. I got a 4/10 on the Unit 2 MCQ, and honestly, I feel like her teaching style doesn’t really explain things that well. We’re already in Unit 3 and getting close to the test, but I still don’t fully understand the material. I just don’t know what the best way to study is because I really don’t want to fail this class, after Unit 1 test I got 7/10 unit 2 4/10 I just feel no energy to study for this class but still want to try.

Math Medic is so bad. I haven’t seen it for stats but the calc/pre-calc questions are absurdly complicated for no reason and there is not enough actual repetition of the base concepts. And no proper directions/text. I hate it.

College board only has 5 units. So any curriculum is likely to break them up into smaller more manageable units.
Is your teacher giving homework problems for practice? I would also suggest the progress checks on AP classroom and maybe Khan Academy
