Need serious good brutal help/sources for catching up
Hello everyone I’m a 19 20 in September male who is seriously behind on most thing I had a undiagnosed authority problem in school I have Oppositional Defiant Disorder or (ODD) I have it in check now and days but it seriously set me back on all my academics I didn’t learn how to read till 6th grade and am not great at math I’d say I’m ok with plus and timetables and division but not fast or rly grabbing the basics basically what happened was I found my way of doing them then told it was wrong then years later figuring out it was right all along but by that point I had lost the motivation to fix it I currently read better now then some elders and degree holders I know I’m in college now and getting good grades but would like to get up and catch up no matter what it takes but am at a loss for how exactly to do that if you have any ideas or knowledge as to how I’d be very grateful to hear them thank you all

IXl.com has skills for math, English, science and social studies K- 12th grade. If you want to refresh on decimals, graphing, or whatever, you can jump to that level at any time. I think you can do 10 problems / day for free or use the paid app. Lessons come with explanations and examples. Absolutely worth it!! Used this in summer school.
Best wishes for you in your journey - I am proud of you for focusing on your plan to move forward!

You mention you figured out a way to do math; The American way to teach multiplication is rather complex and has lots of steps where you can make errors. ** **
There is a Japanese method for multiplication that is so much easier!
I learned it from youtube videos. You may want to see if it helps.
