SUMMARY

The discussion centers on preparing for a high school mathematics end exam, with a target score of over 85% for pursuing Computer Science and Engineering. The exam consists of two levels: Basic (Algebra and Geometry) and Advanced (including Logarithms, Trigonometry, Derivatives, Limits, and Integrals). Recommendations include utilizing resources such as the book "Basic Mathematics" by Serge Lang and the YouTube channel of PatrickJMT, which has proven effective for students in calculus. The participant expresses anxiety about their current preparedness, having scored around 30% on a trial test.

Hello. Quick introduction, I'm 12th grade and in my country we have this end exam in mathematics which I have to pass with +85% so I can fulfill my passion(Computer Science and Engineering). I'm studying hardcore these two years but I missed out a lot from 7th to 10th grade cause I didn't have the passion(I didn't like the teachers)
There's two types of the exam.
Basic level: Algebra 1,2 + Geometry
Advanced level: Basic level + Logarithms, Trigonometry, Derivatives, Limits, Integrals.
I've 6 months to get prepared, I'm still not sure what I'll choose.

So the question: Can someone suggest me a book or an online course or whatever the user might think that covers High school mathematics? I could Google, I know, but it would be better if someone suggested it(experienced user).

Thanks.

Try Khan Academy
 
Any other than Khan Academy? The parts I need are way too basic there...
 
On the trial test I did around 30%, maybe less. I'm getting scared and highly anxious. Yea, i know, childish talk but I seriously need help. I knew that I will take CS a year ago so I started programming. If I fail the test my life's going to approach -inifnity.
 
You could try buying online textbook, reading them extensively, and doing work found online. One thing that helps me is actually re-writing the textbook, word for word.
 
Tansic, I need SPECIFIC answers. As I said above.
