Okay so to start off, I’m supposed to be junior in HS but due to many circumstances, I’ve been “home schooled” since 6th grade. Because of those circumstances I was unable to do most of my school work. I’m to the point where I am ridiculously far behind. But now I have lots of time in my day to do what I need to do. I’ve been using Khan Academy, I am starting from pre-algebra and I’m 55% done with that. But what I NEED to do is get to the point mathematically where I will be ready come November, December or January next year, to take the SAT or ACT and do well.
I need to go to college. That means I need to be able to do pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry confidently. At this time, I know almost nothing besides the 55% of pre-algebra I have been doing. I’m 16 and should be knowing A LOT amount more than I do right now. The amount of stress this is causing me is unbearable and I’m just praying that I will be able to do this. I don’t even know if its possible but I need to do whatever I can to do it. I cannot get a tutor, so Khan and online resources are my only resources it seems.
I just need somebody to help me out and maybe tell me how much I should be doing a day, if you have experience completing these courses on Khan in a certain amount of time, strategies, anything. This is so important. I know I shouldn’t be this behind, but please understand that this is not my fault, so nothing rude please because I already feel bad enough. To anybody who replies, thank you. Ill be checking on this frequently and will reply to any questions and will take any advice.
OK, deep breaths.
For starters, what you need to begin college is a high school diploma. So I would begin by taking a look at the requirements for a homeschool diploma in your state. I’m sure some people here can help you with that. It would help if you could tell us where you’re from.
Once you have that diploma, or are headed towards it, we can talk about college. Know that you don’t need SAT or ACT to attend community college-- and that a number of them have dorms. (If, by some chance you’re from NY, you can look at Sullivan, Herkimer, Adirondack or Tompkins-Cortland for starters.) Yes, you may end up taking remedial math classes, but that seems less important to you than the urgency of getting out of your current circumstances. I would suggest slowing things down, but something about your post seems to imply that things are rough and that you’re looking for a way out. If I’ve misinterpreted things I apologize.
Now, to answer your question: it’s not a question of how many hours or how many topics you cover per day. Some topics in math are long and hard, others are quick and easy. Why not pull up the syllabus from a public high school in your state? These days most teachers have websites and many post the syllabus. With a little time on Google I’m sure you can find it. Get through the topics in the same order the teacher has; it will be organized in a manner that should makes some sense.
@bjkmom I do know that most community colleges, require at least, a placement test. Therefore I still need to get through and get the correct amount of education. Also, I’m not quite looking for a way out, I’m looking to spend as much time needed and do what is necessary in order to get to the point I need to be at as well as seeking advice. Ill check out a syllabus, thank you for your help 
They do require a placement test, but not for admission. For admission, you just need a diploma. If you don’t do well on the placement test, they’ll require some zero credit coursework to get you caught up.
Open admission community colleges generally do offer various lower level math courses like elementary algebra (algebra 1), geometry, intermediate algebra (algebra 2), precalculus (sometimes called college algebra, sometimes trigonometry is split into a separate course).
Obviously, it is better to know this stuff before going to college, since having to take it in college can delay progress, but it is possible to start college (taking non-math-dependent courses alongside) even if you are behind in math.
Again, the bigger issue is ensuring that you have what’s required for a high school diploma.
Relax. You are doing fine. College will wait for you. Just learn the material at a pace which is comfortable for you. At 16 years old, conscientious & with the best in-home tutor in the world (Khan Academy), you will get into & through college.
Please don’t rush your life.
These are great years.
I think you are wonderful for realizing the importance of mathematics and for being so motivated. That’s more than half the battle, so kudos.
Kahn academy, Edx, Udemy, etc are all great and free resources. Find the courses that suit you and proceed at the pace in which you feel comfortable. You can’t rush math - it takes time to learn and sink in, and the timing is different for everyone. I would suggest putting aside an hour or two every day and working on the Kahn/etc course in that timeframe, getting as far as you naturally go.
Put in the effort and, in the long run, you’ll be fine.
