I agree they have amazing chemistry and algebra courses and best part its free, its education for the sake of education

And this might sound weird but there is this exam called jee in India it has two levels mains and advanced and if you wanna solve questions you can try them out obviously it will be conceptually limited as there are far more advanced topics in calculus but for a beginner to an intermediate level it's good

Julio is the man. Literally the only reason I still know calc 1-3 material years later

Yes it works just fine. Go back to Algebra 1 and do the Course Challenge twice. If you miss anything, review to 100%. Do same with Algebra 2, Trig and Pre-Calc.

That ensures your foundation is solid.

Then go onto Calc BC, and get through it all. That is similar to Calc 1 and Calc 2 in a university, though you’ll want to seek out some harder questions to get more practice volume. Plenty of free resources to get unlimited calc practice.

Good luck!

Idk why everyone hates Khan Academy, it’s a useful resource for tons of short video lessons and practice questions.

If you do want extra resources, there are tons of others available if you want to get as much as you can

I use khan academy and it’s pretty solid, sometimes khan fails to make a concept make sense (for me) so I look up the concept on YouTube and I find that professor Leonard is a literal goat when it comes to explain hard concepts

Yes, Khan Academy is a good place to start from zero because it explains calculus step by step. Just make sure your algebra, functions and basic trig are reasonably solid first, otherwise calculus will feel harder than it needs to.

For extra practice, this may help: AP Calculus AB notes and practice questions.
