How to pass Calc AB with a bad teacher + grading

In context, we have a quiz every 2-3 days which are worth 30% of my grade. In context, quizzes are only 2-3 questions long and are RIDICULOUSLY hard and all my smart friends agree her grading is unreasonable. Im at a 73% in her class and i really need advice on how to get it to at least a B throughout the year???

Am I getting this right?

I apologize for so many questions In advance, our teacher hasn’t quite explained this all and I’m very weak at the algebra.

i also thank you all in advance 🙏

the first pic is the context.

What textbooks would you recommend for AP Chemistry and AP Physics 1 for the 2026-2027 School Year? What is your experience with the one you picked?

These two links are where I started looking first because they were suggestions by CollegeBoard, but I am curious to know other people's experience reading the textbooks. If it wasn't specifically a textbook, what book was it? If I was to study on my own without a teacher, would I be successful by knowing the content and applying it?

Taking AP Calc BC and AP Phyiscs C same Year

I plan to take these 2 AP classes, along with others, during my junior year simultaneously. But I'm thinking to myself, and people talk about how Physics C requires calc, but Physics C might use calc concepts before they're taught in Calc BC. Is it realistic to take AP Calc BC and AP Physics in the same year? Is it going to be significantly harder than if I were to take Calc BC first, then Physics C the next year?

The previous year, I took AP Physics 1 and Honors Math Analysis before taking these two classes.

Good APs for musicians

I am a singer and I want to continue it after I graduate. I want to take APs that are good for musicians and good humanities APs. Not AP music theory since I heard it’s impossible na the teacher at my school isn’t that good apparently.

I feel like a fucking idiot in AP Lang.

Hi. This is mostly just me needing a place to rant, feel free to reply if you wish.

I feel like a fucking idiot in AP Lang. I am a naturally gifted English student, I've been awarded for my writing numerous times and I genuinely enjoy reading and writing. I want to major in this kind of thing in college. So it's extremely frustrating that a subject I care so deeply about and want so badly to do well in is making me feel like I'm just repeatedly bashing my head into a wall.

Every time I turn something in, there's mountains upon mountains of feedback. Especially when it comes to rhetorical analysis, holy shit. I'm somehow never specific enough. It feels like I can spend hours pining over a PROCESS WORK assignment and NONE of that work pays off. I know how to get better, but I genuinely feel like there's no point because nothing I do for this class works. Nothing pays off. No amount of effort earns me anything useful. So what's the point in doing any better? What's the point in trying if it's never actually gonna get me what I want?

I guess I just want some advice on how any ex-Lang or current Lang students found the motivation to actually keep trying in this class. I feel useless and am devoid of hope at the moment, and it's only fucking October. Help.

No phone number verification option

This is the second time this has happened to me, I go to login to college board and I USUALLY choose to verify with my phone number since it’s much more convenient for me, college board has straight up removed the option to phone number verify for me, even though I have done it countless times.

Please let me know any info if you have any !!!!

HELP: Failing AP Calc BC

School's just started but I've already taken 3 tests in my school's BC course and failed every single one of them despite studying immensely, landing me a C in my grade right now. I've never struggled with math so much as this, so I'm really shocked and disappointed at myself, yet I don't know what's going on and how to improve. Maybe it's just the Collegeboard question format, but I study with a lot of their practice questions my teacher gives me, and I still do poorly.

If you guys have taken this course before, can you give me some advice, practice material, Youtubers, wtv helped you? I'm really worried since I know this course will only get harder as time progresses, and I genuinely don't know how to go from here, I feel hella lost. Any help is very very appreciated! Thank you all <3

Has anyone here self-studied AP Comp Gov?

Hi!

I wanted to self-study this class since it's not available in my district and wanted to know if anyone knew of any resources. I will be grateful for anything!
