Should I take Precalc before taking Calc I?

Thank you for your contributions!
As far as algebra, I know up to Algebra II material and then some on a basic level: functions, basic logarithms, exponential growth and if basic trig includes working with sin, cos, and tan, then that too. But I’m slower with math in general (from algebra to basic adding and subtracting in my head). I’ve been that way since I was 7. I do admit I haven’t touched real math since my junior year of high school and I’m currently a freshmen in college.

I might take the previous posters’ advice and watch Khan academy videos. If by then, I’m still lost, then I’ll probably (grudgingly) have to take precalculus.

@barium- So would you advise that I just review algebra material and then I’ll be good for the class?
