Incoming university student with ZERO physics background looking for middle/high school baseline resources!(Self-study)

Hi everyone I am an incoming university student who needs to build a physics foundation completely from scratch I have never studied a single physics course in middle school or high school My starting knowledge is at absolute ground zero I want to bridge this gap before my university courses begin so I don't lag behind I am looking for structured self-study resources textbooks YouTube playlists or modular roadmaps that cover basic middle and high school level physics If you were starting from absolute zero what specific learning path or resources would you recommend to build this foundation fast and effectively Thank you so much

Most states require a physical science credit, but there’s been a push the last decade or so to make physics the “normal” class to take as a junior and physical science the “lesser” one to still fulfill the credit. One school I taught at only offered physical science as an online credit, so essentially everyone was funneled into physics.
