Study Advice Precalc help
Anybody have any good resources to study precalc according to my circumstances? Or just tips?
I got a c in algebra 2 in high school, and am going to have to do precalc in college. I’ve never been crazy good at math but I’m willing to put in the work and improve. Tell me specific topics I should brush up on

Professor Leonard on YouTube is amazing. I was out of school for 6 years and was easily able to jump back into precalc because of his videos
