So I'm going to college to study up on electrical engineering, but there's sort of an issue regarding this. I am required to take a calculus course, but I did not meet the requirements to be able to take it this year, and taking the course any later will cause me to stay an extra year at the university I will be attending. Of course, I can bypass this by taking a trigonometry placement exam and passing it. I have some resources provided for me to study up on, but the issue lies in how I should tackle this. I remember some of the basics from my highschool pre-calculus class, but I don't know how I should approach this. I think my advisor has already assigned me a test date, but I'm not sure when yet- probably soon. I want to retain as much as I possibly can for this. What is a good method for studying an entire trigonometry unit?

Go to OpenStax - it's a website that makes free college text books, and they have textbooks for all basic mathematics, from pre-algebra to several calculus text books. Spend a hell-ton of time reviewing the text books, and you should be golden.

Weird, I just got an e-mail from them. But yeah, thanks for the pointer.

I'm pretty sure I was told that under a rhetorical situation in which I don't take the extra class during the summer. I'm pretty sure that was just to light a fire under my ass. But yeah, if I don't take calculus this year, I will have to take pre-cal instead, which will just hold me back.
