How to prepare for ap physics and precalc honors?

I am a rising junior and I am afraid that I will not do that well in these subjects because I am weak at Math and Science. I was wondering how people who did well in the class prepared for these subjects and what resources or tools were useful to them.

Hey there @loriiiii!

I'm a rising sophomore who is taking Honors Precalculus next year, and math has never been my strongest subject, so I'm a little worried too. Algebra is an important skill for these classes, so brush up on some basic algebra over the summer. I use resources like Khan Academy, Kuta Software, and Brilliant.org to study for math. There is also a wealth of information on YouTube if you look up specific subtopics or problem types. The most important advice I can give for any class is to meet with your teacher often to review the material and ask questions one-on-one. I met with my Honors Algebra II teacher a few times a month last year to prepare for quizzes, ask questions, and do practice problems, and it was extremely helpful.
