Hey /sci/ I need your help coming up with a study sheet for everything I should know for starting community college this fall. inb4 you guys say lulz community college. When I was 17 my grandpa broke his hip and needed full time care. It was either sell his house and use the money for his care or me get a GED and live with him till he died and get the house in the will.
Well its been almost 4 years I will be turning 21 this fall. He died earlier this year. So I have to get my brain working again before school starts.

Pretty much need a study guide in everything.

There's a torrent around for a pack of Sparkcharts. Give that a download, read through it for a basic introduction to everything (honestly all you would have gotten if you weren't going into honors/AP classes anyway). Then see what you somewhat understand and what you need a bit more of a refresher on.

Do you know the name of the torrent or just look for sparknotes in a torrent search?

For community college? You probably don't need to know shit. I just started real university after being out of school nearly a decade, this shit is a joke, school has been dumbed down so much. Anyway, most important would probably be to be familiar with basic math, namely algebra and perhaps some trig. Also, be literate. That's about it.
And you definitely made the right choice about school/caring for your grandfather OP.

Search "Sparkcharts pack torrent", I guess. I found it on Demonoid, so that may be a problem.

I agree that you don't really need to know anything going in. I have insufficient data to know whether supporting your grandfather was the right choice.

Note that it doesn't hurt to review crap.

OP, look for old books (I mean more than 30-40 years ago) on various mathematical concepts.

I have a book, Mathematics for the Electrician and Radioman, made in the 40s. It covers a ton of math stuff, and although it's very poorly laid out, has visual and pretty clear examples of applications of each mathematical/scientific idea in it.

Also: the Master Math series goes from arithmetic to Calculas.

For science, just read on stuff like sciencedaily.com until you can understand most articles without having to jump to wikipedia or something. Alot of the articles are relatively detailed.

For History, there's libraries, and for English, there's a shit-ton of "English" books, though you'd want more on research papers and essays.
