Study exactly the AP questions. Also, read the textbook word for word and memorize it as such. This is the only way you will end with above a failing grade.

If she sees this, I hope she remembers me and my retaliation to all of this. In theory, she would have been a good teacher. She responds quickly and nicely, is very open to discussing help, and always says she will go over the quizzes and tests with us. Unfortunately, she fails to do any of this, had half of a senior class failing despite genuinely trying and asking for help daily. Keep in mind, seniors failing a fourth year science meant that they wouldn't graduate. I cried multiple times over this class, including to her, and finally had to go to her department head to get help.

I really dislike her class. All the content is taught in the most unengaging ways possible. Students slave away making powerpoints that are meant to teach other, but every student is so bored that it is impossible to get any information down. Not to mention, she could at least do the bare minimum and put her powerpoints online, but she doesn't even do that. Only on her sick days do we see any content on her page.
