How feasible is my plan, and how should I approach it?

How can we help?

Hello, everyone! So, I had a very lacking education, and for that, I have little to no knowledge of math, and no knowledge in sciences. I need to, until March '25, get to speed with the high school curriculum of Biology and Chemistry. Preferably AP level, if possible. I'm specially interested in human biology, so I would give up some of the ecology and such parts if time restraints show to be much of a problem.

Is this possible? How far would I have to get into Math - algebra? Further? What about physics, would all the indispensable knowledge of it be presented in the libraries?

And how should I go at it, should I watch all the way back from the middle school videos, or following the Biology & Chemistry libraries would suffice? I think of further studying with Campbell and Brown if there's enough time.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, it would be possible if you put in the hours. I'd say start with the basics in every course. I'm in the same situation as you and I found it very useful to start on 1st grade math and get 100 percent on each course. It took a while to review since there were so many things I did not know about/forgot. I'm currently on Algebra 1, but I'm close to finishing. I haven't done the High School science courses yet, but I do plan to begin soon once I'm finished with Middle School (Almost done). They seem okay looking at how much content they have within them. The only issue I'd say is that the High School chemistry course is too short, but you could also do the AP Chemistry College course if you needed more. I'm just not sure how challenging it would be.

Hey, 3vd9! I think you're right, I should go back to the basics. Instead of doing the first grades of Math and Middle School sciences, I began doing the "libraries", which I believe are a condensed version of the entire curriculum. But your plan seems more sound.

I couldn't find an estimate of how long each of the courses are. You said if you put in the hours, based on what you've seen, how many hours per day do you think would be adequate, roughly?

How many did you put in until you got to Algebra I, and how long did it take you?

Thanks a lot!

Algebra 1 didn't take long because most of it I already know, but each person is different. Sal's voice is slow so I play videos at 1.5 speed to finish a bit quicker. Also, I'm not sure about the estimate of the math courses, but I do know how long all the videos are in the science courses.

Those times do not include the questions + watching videos twice if needed + notes, so it would most certainly take more time to complete than the hours listed below.

High School Chemistry: 55 videos, 6 hours

High School Biology: 127 videos, 19 hours

High School Biology NGSS: 49 videos, 5 hours

High School Physics: 116 videos, 17 hours

High School Physics NGSS: 35 videos, 5 hours

AP®︎/College Biology: 185 videos, 25 hours

AP®︎/College Chemistry: 211 videos, 27 hours
