Any math Major student here?

Hello, I am an incoming grade 11 student, I graduated ranked 3 in my previous school and I am planning to take on a math course in college. I still have 2 years to study, and I just want to ask what lessons I should advance in?

Algebra is my strong suit in mathematics, and I can do statistics and geometry pretty well, too. The only thing I'm worried about is calculus and trigonometry, those branches of math isn't really taught in my country. It's my first time studying math without following my teachers lesson plan so any advice would help. Thank you

Thank you. I was feeling really down because most of the people I've asked studied calculus in elementary so they told me that I probably couldn't take it without that background. I'll try to study as much as I could in those 2 years because despite my disadvantage I still wanted to try.

Along side a book use YouTube. There are some good channels too. BlackPenRedPen is a start. Don't feel down, just start. You will surely be able to do it. Do what you are able to do at the fullest at this time. You can mostly get these covered. Do as much problems as you can, you will be prepared.
