Reddit reviews Pre-calculus Demystified, Second Edition

ProfRobBob Youtube - This sir has great videos. His playlists are in order and very useful for Calculus. Loved his pre calculus playlist.

Patrick JMT - I could not have passed Calculus 2 without this guy. For the most part, his Calculus section is in order on his website.

KhanAcademy - Nice courses with problems available for you. Really easy to use and navigate. I worked through Algebra and only watched his videos on Trigonometry and Calculus.

Hope you get back on track buddy. Don't give up.


I self taught myself Algebra through Precalculus, here are books I used:

1. Practical Algebra - This helped when doing KhanAcademy Algebra course
   
   
2. Precalculus Demystified - Easy to understand w/o having any knowledge of precalculus.
   
   
3. Precalculus by Larson - The demystified book above helped form a foundation that allowed me to understand this book fairly well
   
   
4. Calculus for Dummies by PatrickJMT - This goes great for soliving problems in PatrickJMT's 1000 problem book.

The above link is a reading list I made for adults to rigorously learn mathematics from the beginning.

If your goal is to just learn it fast.
Do these two books.

Schaums-Outline-Elementary-Mathematics-Outlines

Pre-calculus-Demystified

You should be able to test into calc 1.

I'm doing the same thing and a combination of Pre-calculus Demystified and PatrickJMT videos has been serving me well

“Precalculus demystified” gives a pretty solid overview of the most common/applicable parts of precalculus. There are a lot of problems with step by step solutions so that you can check yourself at any point. If you’re looking for a proper math textbook, I have a few in mind, but they generally aren’t self-contained (i.e. you would have to purchase a separate solutions manual). For the GMAT this would probably suffice.
