Nikon D1500 semi automatic settings not adjusting properly?

The dial modes A, and S (shutter speed) are semi automatic, so when you set the aperture the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed or / and exposure to give you the best image possible, even if this doesn't always work out. When i fist got my camera it did this perfectly. However now these settings no longer self adjust. I believe i can adjust everything manually but being a beginner and in photography class i really need to use these settings and i cant figure out why they are not self adjusting, it's as if they don't exits. Not only that but however high or low i set either of these settings the picture always comes out dark, whereas on a slow shutter speed i would have thought the image would over expose if the auto settings were broken. All of the other automatic modes work, it's just the semi automatic modes. Is there a setting i have switched the camera to to result in this? Or a reset button? Or even just a clue as to why this is happening. I have checked the manual it says nothing about this. I have used these mods in plain daylight too. My photography teacher didn't seem to understand my question… Thanks!
