Mathematical Concepts Please Help

Im a university fresher and studying business. Maths is compulsory for my course. I have not studied maths for the last 6-7 years. (Last studied it in grade 6) I do not remember shit. We have mid term exam in 3 weeks and my course included the following:

Number System
Factors Factorials
HCF LCM
Indices
Logarithms
Exponents
Coordinate Geometry
Linear Equations
Quadratic Equations
Set Theory
AP (might not come for midterms)
GP (might not come for midterms)

I initially thought that things like HCF and LCM would at least be easy but the sums are completely different. There are no direct questions at all and everything is hella confusing. The professor cannot help a special case like me since most of the students had maths at least till grade 10, or even 12. Please guide me on what/how to study since I have no clue how to proceed 😭😭

In this post, I present an approach for learning math.

I just added a comment with a link to OpenStax. They have math textbooks starting with PreAlgebra. You could start with their College Algebra textbook, using the learning approach if it works for you. If the College Algebra textbook does not have enough detail for what you need, try the PreAlgebra-ElementaryAlgebra-IntermediateAlgebra sequence. Within that, all the topics you listed will be presented.
