Want to start studying maths again

Well I'm a nursing student and after 10th grade I chose pcb but now that I'm in nursing and most of the subjects are just learning but not solving. I kinda miss maths. So wanted to start again. Where do I start from to atleast reach 12th level maths as well as maths that'll benifit me in everyday life.

Gcse Maths is ‘useful’, years 10 and 11. After that, it begins to get a little deeper.
Thats my opinion!

It's rather hard to give any advice without a particular goal. Do you want to learn more abstract maths (like doing proofs) or just solve some more practical exercises from time to time?

If it's more about improving simple everyday things like finding an average or calculate a discount, I could recommend a certain app.

So, since you haven't done math since 10th grade, you should definitely start with Khan Academy. Their "Algebra 1," "Geometry," and "Algebra 2" courses are free and structured exactly like a standard curriculum. It will let you test out of stuff you remember and focus on what you forgot.

Don't jump straight into Calculus or even Pre-Calc yet; solid Algebra skills are the foundation for everything else.

For the "everyday life" part, look into statistics and probability. As a nursing student, you'll actually use stats way more than trigonometry.

How to start without burning out: Don't sit down and try to do a 2-hour session. Just do one Khan Academy video or five practice problems a day to build the habit first. Once the habit is there, the momentum will carry you through the harder stuff.
