On June 16th I will be taking an exam for a Study in Japan scholarship. The exam will include English and Mathematics, and I emailed them asking about the Mathematics, since I am not too good in that department. They gave me a link to an old test:

NOT GOOD! I cannot solve any of those, and can hardly comprehend some. In high school, the only math classes I took were Transition to Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. And it's been a year since then, so I'm even rusty on those.
So, what is the best way to learn this level of mathematics by June 16th? I'm somewhat in the middle of nowhere, so anything on the internet is preferrable. If there's a book you know of that is better than anything on the internet, and is relatively cheap, please tell me about it also.
Why would a Design major need to know this level of math anyways :_(
The test looks like anything a high school grad should be able to do. if you are serious about doing this and as unlearned as I think you are (don't take offence), I'd say get a competent tutor.
>>3 Well I think usually you have to take Algebra II to graduate, but I took Transition to Algebra which counts as a full credit, so I didn't have to take it.
A tutor is sort of out of the question, since 1. I live in a poduck town in the middle of nowhere, TN, and 2. no money! Someone on world4ch directed me to a helpful site, though, so hopefully I can learn what I need to there.
You need to take a math test for Monbukagakusho? Well I'll be. I never had to take anything.
Anyway, that math is piss easy, looks like some algebra, trigonometry, geometry and basic calculus. Hit up wikipedia or mathworld.wolfram.com and google your way from there, I'm sure the internet is chock full of relevant material.
You are a failure. You will fail at every avenue of endeavor you choose to pursue. You're fucking fired
