As a student in his pre-calc class, the first semester was definitely difficult. Trust me, it gets easier the second semester. My big tip would be to actually do the homework it's great practice. The most studying I did for tests was reviewing the practice time multiple times. Understand the concepts of the practice test and you should be fine on the test if you need more practice I would look in the textbook for more problems. Another tip is not to use the cheat sheet if possible since it deducts a lot of points. If you really need it then I'd say go for it but I never used one. It's definitely not easy to get an A but it is possible and his teaching stuck with me. If you are confused email him and he will reply with a video to help you better understand the problem which I found super helpful. He is entertaining at times and as much as I was suffering the first semester the second semester wasn't nearly as bad. The final is a bit tough you will need to study a lot.

To become relatively successful in Mr. Eppler’s class, specifically honors algebra 2, make sure to be due diligent in the notes you take during his class as it is very fast paced. Also make sure to pay attention to everything from the class and always ask questions when you don’t feel confident in the unit or topics you are discussing. Although Mr. Eppler may seem very closed-minded and straight forward when answering your questions, at least you are grasping the topics being discussed. Also make sure to always complete your homework before the next class session, as most of the time Eppler reviews any difficult problems or questions that have been prompted by the previous class’ assignment, and if you didn’t fully complete that assignment you can be left behind even more and won’t grasp and fully understand the topic like the others. If you need more specific information on things like formulas and equations, the textbook is also a great resource to look at if you are ever confused and too scared to ask a question in front of the class. You can also however personally email Eppler, and he himself will email you a video of him doing the problem step by step to demonstrate the process in a cleaner formation.

be ready to answer questions and you'll be fine, and don't be afraid to be wrong, and if your confused ask questions, he is always willing to receive questions and answer them. be cooperative and as well just make sure to take notes.

Make sure you keep nice and organized notebooks. You'll probably have multiple notebooks so having them nice and organized will help when going back into them, which you'll do quite frequently. You'll also most likely get a grade on your notebook too. Make sure you ask questions, they can do you a lot of favors. If you're nervous about asking a question remember that no one's gonna make fun of you for asking a question, and someone probably has the same question.

My advice would be to pay close attention during class and to take good and detailed notes. In just any math class, not paying attention would lead to your absolute demise. It would be really difficult to catch-up in the class since you actually have to understand steps in solving problems rather than just reading a missed chapter in a book.
