From someone who earned a 5 in WHAP: Early on, form a study group of 2-5 people. Do the weekly reeding and notes together, stopping every "header" to discuss and write down key points. If you like audiobooks, try to access the ebook (you may have to connect with the other WHAP teacher's copy) as it has a speech tool. If writing and reading notes isn't how you learn, that's ok. Don't overdo it. Communicate with the teacher and your peers to see what amount is reasonable to submit, then use the rest of your time on another method. Find resources online. The course is universal enough for them to line up. Heimler and Crash Course are great. For the essays, don't stress too much about exact dates and such. As long as you can confidently describe the event so it can be recognized, you will be fine. Leading up to the AP test, I wouldn't bother with the practice test hosted by the school. Instead, I recommend finding the old real tests on the CollegeBoard website. Discuss and debate the answers with your study group. Prioritize takeaway ideas over technicalities when it comes to the MCQs. Finally, it's test day. Go to bed early. Eat a filling breakfast and get to the testing location on time. Don't let anyone steal your food. Get settled with all of your writing utensils. You've got this. The tests from the class were honestly harder than the AP test. Enjoy the parties in the final weeks and good luck with your results.

He is a good teacher but for some reason he just decided to not teach the difficult concepts that nobody understands. He is a kind and understandable teacher.
