How many of you actually completed one of their courses/went through the videos & exercises?
How useful was it? Did it help you prepare for another class? Did it help you pass an interview? Were you able to follow from the videos and do the exercises?
I'm about to start Mathematics for Computer Scientist as a quick review & then do the Algorithms course.
it's not as useful as actually going to class

For math, I'd start with the Art of Problem Solving contest prep books. If you master the material in those, you will be more overprepared for college math than 99% of freshman. Follow that up with Velleman's How to Prove It and Spivak's Calculus.
If you finish this much and still have time to spare before you start college, I'd learn linear algebra. MIT OCW Scholar has a great course and the instructor's book is great, and Klein's Coding the Matrix is a great and cheap book that'll show you CS applications of linear algebra.
For programming, you have an embarrassment of riches with sites like Coursera, edx, and Udacity.
A great free textbook is Think Python. Just google it and use the version for Python 3. Work through that, and maybe follow it up with the CS Intro on Udacity and Udacity's courses on debugging and software testing.
The best introduction to programming online is probably Harvard's CS50x on edx. It uses C. After you get your feet wet with Python, you can take this. After CS50x, take Coursera's Hardware/Software Interface to get more practice with C and learn how computers work in more depth.
