EDIT: Thanks everybody for the suggestions! You've been great help to me.

I'm getting prepared for my computer science degree in college but pretty behind in the related classes. What are the best resources out there? Preferably in English as my native language resources are shit at explaining the basics.

I'm currently studying in Khan Academy but was wondering if there are somethings I'm missing out.

NOTE: I am NOT in college yet. I'm trying to get in college now. So the stuff I'm looking for is high school stuff.

I studied engineering after failing high-school algebra, so I was also pretty behind.

Khan Academy is a great resource for everything from elementary algebra to calculus and linear algebra, all of which you'll use.

Symbolab is great for figuring out tough homework problems.

YouTube is good for certain topics, and some may be able to explain how something applies to comp Sci.

Once you're in, use office hours. Some places have free peer tutoring. Everywhere has tutors you can pay for.
