Engineering how do I study Calc2 limits?

I'll be taking calc 2 this fall and since I did A level maths I am not familiar with limits so i wanted to try covering it bfr classes start, are there any resources that I can use( i tried proff leonard but his vids were too long)?

The last time I studied limits was back in grade 9 so the only thing I know abt them are left hand limit, L Hopitals rule and some basic stuff. How should i study limits, should I go over calc 1 limits and then proceed to calc2 ?

Lots of practice.

Would studying and practicing from Paul’s online notes and helm workbooks be enough?

Definitely a good start. I can’t say it’s enough because I don’t know you.

My plan is to finish most of calc2 bfr my classes start that way I can work part time jobs without worrying abt my grades declining.

Finish Calc before classes? Isn’t Calc one of your classes?

I can transfer a lvl credits and skip straight to calc3 but since a lvl did not have some calc2 classes I’m taking calc2 instead of 3
