I just started my second semester of my senior year, this year I have passed all of my classes except for PreCal, I have not struggled like this in a while in math. I failed with a 64 average. I am honestly so incredibly disappointed in myself. I am jeopardizing my future in college, this may cause the colleges I’ve applied to to rescind my acceptances. I literally do not know what to do. All last semester, I got screwed over because a teacher at my school had a medical emergency and had to leave for the whole semester, and so all of the other math teachers had to pick up some extra classes so my class got switched to a teacher who literally hadn’t taught PreCal in 7 years, and was not involved in the PreCal lesson planning, so essentially picture coming to a class where your teacher got told what to teach the day of, (she also only had one PreCal class at the end of the day, so she wasn’t even in a PreCal mindset until we got there), and she was nice but she just was not a good teacher, AT ALL. Im someone who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, but she would be teaching and kids in the class would interrupt her to correct her. So she was just not confident, super stressed and for me that was just a bad environment to be in. I never passed a quiz or test even with retakes. I studied so freaking hard for the final. It was the highest test score I have ever gotten in that class. I was just so preoccupied with applications that, PreCal got neglected on my list of priorities because it just stressed me just to think of it. I really hate myself for being stupid and putting myself in this position now. I don’t know what to do. Can someone just give me some advice.

Also PS, they switched us back to my old teacher, who I had for Algebra 2 and shes a fantastic teacher, so I think this semester will be a lot smoother.
