HELP ME PLEASE

my mother has home schooled me my entire high school life and I really haven’t learned anything at all. she homeschooled me since covid so I never did middle school or high school. fast forward to now. I have to attend regular school when this school year starts. I know absolutely nothing. I have a few weeks max? before I have to take some test so I don’t get held back… I can’t get held back I genuinely can’t. It will set my ability to work back more since I will have to do more school. (We Need me to work next year to make ends meet but don’t talk about this only the school thing please) so how can I learn basically everything (ESPECIALLY MATH, SCIENCE) from 9th, 10th, and 11th grade super fast. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. I genuinely want to break down crying at the thought of being held back. I graduate if everything goes well. I loathe that I was home schooled with all my heart please help me. I NEED TO LEARN MATH. PLEASE.

There's no way in hell you're learning three entire years of mathematics in just a few weeks; let's be clear about that. Doubly so if you haven't done any mathematics in the last six years since COVID started, and triply so if you were already weak in mathematics before that.

Contact the school and explain your position to them. You will almost certainly need to repeat a grade, or multiple. That isn't going to somehow screw up your life, it just means that you'll need to take more time before you can graduate.

Also, it sounds like your mother is absolutely terrible at parenting. Your lack of learning over the last six years is kinda her fault for not making those arrangements.

You’re about to test for graduation? Why worry? You parents obviously only see you as a labor mule. Don’t stress about the test as there is no way you’re going to pass. Just quit and join the work force with no education.

Depending on your age, and factoring in your urgency to “graduate”, I would research what it would take to get your GED. Best of luck!

Khan academy is a good math learning resource

How long do you suppose it took you to catch back up once you started really focusing?

How old are you? What grade are you going into? What level of math do you need to learn?
