It's not possible to cheat, because none of the questions involve memorisation and they never give out past paper markschemes. There's nothing I could take into the exam that would help.

Also I don't want to cheat.

There's nothing I could've taken into my tests that could've helped me either because even with a solved problem in my face I still didn't know how to solve anything.

If you don't want to cheat...well it's all you then. But I'd rather cheat than take any consequences (ignoring the one you can get for cheating but getting caught is easy unless your teacher's face is like right in front of you)...

Your exams are in 5 weeks so you can try to turn things around by then. If not, you only have one option.

You're in high school, right? The risks and consequences of cheating are inconsequential. In university, you run the risk of being withdrawn from the school and a note in your transcript.

You have 5 weeks, plenty of time to learn a course from beginning to end (assuming it's the only one you're afraid of failing). Some things that should help:

-Study in a group. White board, marker, the whole thing. It get easier to comprehend how to do a problem when you see how your peers are going about it.

-Utilize office hours. Your professors should have some period of time when they're available to help you.

-For the most part, become a hermit, both in real life and on the internet. No facebook, dates, VGC, texting, instant messaging, bowling, whatever. Plenty of time to do all that after finals.

-Manage your time wisely. Make a daily study plan...ie. Cover chapter 1 on Thursday, chapter 1 questions on Friday, saturday chapter 2 and so on.

-Don't worry about it. Wasting time worrying about it is an ineffcient usage of time and energy.
