Hey everyone. So recently I had what I guess you can say was an epiphany. I realized that I’m 24 and my current path was most likely going to lead me to working blue collar jobs the rest of my life… Which is not what I wanted to do with my life growing up. So I decided it was high time I get my ass into college and pursue my dream of becoming a physicist. That being said I enrolled into mt. sac this year and plan to start with a summer.

Now I’ve been out of the loop as far school goes for the past 6 years. And I’m a little worried it’s going to a be a bit much for me. So I’ve been brushing up my math online due to the fact I don’t want to score low on the placement test and start in elementary math. I did pass algebra and geometry in high school but as I said it was six years ago… So that being said do you think it’s possible to relearn algebra 1, geometry and a little bit of algebra 2 by the time I take my placement test in late May? If so what do you recommend? Also if anyone has a rough idea of how to balance courses so I don’t overwhelm myself, that would also be helpful! Thank you!
