Hello everyone I need advice between choosing precalculus or college algebra

so basically I never went to highschool and am now curently enrolled in community college for the summer and over the past 6 months I have been studying math like algebra 1 and part of algebra 2 on khan academy and I placed into precalculus with an Aleks math placement score without finishing all of algebra 2 like theres a decent amount of algebra 2 I havent completed. I want to transfer out of cc preferably as a sophomore but either way I want to Transfer into a T 25 to study computer science and Econ.

So 1 week of school has passed and im currently enrolled in a 12 week 5 credit precalculus class and a 10 week 4 credit comp 1 class.

Im wondering If I should stick with precalculus or switch to college algebra which is a 4 credit 10 week class.

should I drop comp 1

should I add college algebra

should I keep precalc and comp 1 and self study the rest

What sets me up in the best position to succeed, Im thinking if I delay my precalc then the math sequence gets delayed and 2 years of community college will probably be the best use of time at that point. But then I will probably delay graduation so I can try to recruit for investment banking

Help please with cc class choice

So im currently enrolled in precalculus and composition 1 which is 9 credits total 5 in precalculus over 12 weeks and 4 in composition 1. Over 10 weeks

My precalculus teacher says I have some holes in my education such as never having studied logarithms which I told her when we were chatting in office hours and I was trying to get her to help me with college algebra pretest and she said I have to go back to my way that I was doing it via Khan Academy Youtube etc for that part since we are expected to know that already.

She told me I could email my adviser here at the community college whether I should add or audit the college algebra class.

Im wondering what is the best way to handle this as there are multiple ways I could go about this but the college algebra class already started and I would have missed two classes

I could add college algebra and drop composition 1 and keep precalculus or I could add college algebra and drop precalculus and keep composition 1

Or I could stay on my current path and supplement my weak areas via Khan academy before I get into Calculus.

I got into Pre-Calculus by mainly using Khan Academy and scoring a 65 on Aleks placement
