First of all, Mr Rapley is the G. O. A. T. To do well in this class you do need to be self-sufficient, but that goes for whatever class you're in for ATAR Chem. If Mr Rapley can see you're trying your best, he will try his best to help you. He gives out a lot of practice and past papers to emulate the WACE Exam, which is awesome because practice papers are the #1 key to doing well. Some things to avoid include: a) asking for too many extra marks (he might get a bit pissy with you if you get annoying) and b) eating in class (he will roast you). So yeah, Mr Rapley's the G. O. A. T. I saw him as a friend rather than a teacher, he always had my back.
