What do I do, I need TIPS AND ANSWERS!!!?
Ok im in a really big problem that I need help with, I am not very good at physics and I made a really big mistake in the beginning of the year by taking AP physics which I thought I could handle it. My Physics teacher is really bad at explaining anything, he is downright terrible. Now he keeps giving assignments and tests that are getting harder and harder. I don't really understand them because he cant explain anything right, now I need to switch out of his class but it wont happen until the end of the term which is in 2 weeks, my original plan was to just try and get through, but that is NOT working. I need some help on what I should do, can anyone give me a REALLY REALLY good Physics website that I can look at to study and practice, or can someone give me some tips on what I should do! Any help is appreciated.

Watch this site. Study the answers to questions like you are having to do. The folks here do good work (most of them anyhow). Study and learn Newton's Equations of Motion. Note, how we solve problems using them.
Try to solve problems before we do, then look at how the problem was actually solved.
Get good at algebra, trig, and geometry. With good math and a good understanding of Newton you should get good enough to pull out a C. It is not that hard, the equations are all simple. You just need to see which one to use.
Draw a picture of the problem so you can see the trig and geometry involved. That is at least 20% of every problem.
Look at every problem and ask, "From what I know, what can I figure out? With that knowledge, what else can I figure out? Physics teachers tend to give problem where you need to solve say for time, with that you can solve for distance, with that you can solve for force (or something like that) which is what the question asked.
