We start from learning about etre and avoir. After each class, there is homework assigned and the instructor said to do the homework before the next class because things build on each other. So as long as you do the homework before the next class and you spend some time memorizing during these homework times, then it's okay. If you try to do the homework right before the tests, it will be really stressful. All her questions come out of the workbook but she has a lot of questions so don't take it too lightly.
Keep it slow and steady and you will be fine even with grade 9 French. I took grade 10 French (didn't learn a thing in Gr 10 French btw, all I did was French crosswords) and I was fine. I would note that although it is tempting to skip class, I don't recommend it. You can definitely learn by yourself with the text but your learning becomes much more richer when you are in class because the instructor would ask questions and she would sometimes ask each student individually such as "conjugate the verb ______ in the present indicative". I really like her style of teaching because she would teach something, then ask students individually basic questions. When the questions were more challenging, she would ask to the whole class and students would raise their hand to answer. The participation in class makes learning it easier because French is meant to be spoken, not just read.
