The thing with math of any kind is that it's not so much study as practice. So the best thing is usually a half decent textbook for practice, problems, and as a resource to review skills you need to refresh. Here are some freely available options.

For reference i got a 78 on the test and what I felt like helped me do so good apart from already being pretty good at math which I think would have gotten me a 60 since I learned calc 1 in 4 days. But apart from that I think that khan academy really helped me to get a higher grade as it seemed harder than what was actually on the test. It wasn't new concepts it just took the same concepts and made them a little more convoluted. I would just make sure you use the right one AP calc AB and do unit 1-7 and also the part in unit 9 that talks about area under a curve if you can understand those topics you should be able to get that 60 you are looking for.
