Will taking math online help me pass trig?

I ask because I am pursuing an economics degree with a math option as well as minoring in applied math and actuarial science. I’m taking trig right now because its a prerequisite for a lot of the upper division math courses I need for the major. I’m very confident in my math ability, I understand and can do trig. When I do the homework from the book, I’m spot on but when It comes to tests, I run into problems. The questions on the tests written by my instructor aren’t formulated nearly as well as the book; they are poorly written and vague. Its a huge difference for me when professionals write the questions vs someone writing their own test who doesn’t have that kind of experience. I am also never given enough time to take the tests. Has anyone else had a similar problem or had better experiences with online courses in that field?
