Sorry with the annoying title, hopefully you clicked it to flame me but instead you found the sweet spot deep down in your heart and wish to help me. If not flame away it will keep my topic at the top

If you're bored, read on: If not, skip to the bottom where is says cliff notes:

Heres the situation: I need a B or A in math to get TOPS which is basically a government funded scholarship that will pay me $16,000 over the course of 4 years to attend any school I want to in-state. Its a pretty big deal, and its offered to everybody rich or poor. I have an 87.1% in math, or .9% away from a B. The exam is worth 300 points, or 18% of our grade however if I get an A on the exam I get an A in the class. 50 problems, 6 points a piece. 4 chapters on the test, I've just about mastered all of them except for one, chapter 6... Chapter 6 has to do with laws of sines, laws of cosines, vectors in a plane, vectors and dot products, and trigonometric form of a complex number. I'm basically looking for a really good site that covers trig to help me out. Trust me, I'll be searching while reading the suggestions you guys post. Thanks for the help.

Cliff notes: I screwed myself over by being a lazy bum and its bitting me in the ass now. I need help learning some topics in trigonometry. Where is a good site that you use for help on the intraweb?

Who would've thought, eh? Thanks rsek

I'm mainly looking for resources you use personally (not saying you don't use math.com rsek). Anybody can do a google search, its just hard finding good sites...

If you have a specific question about stuff, don't hesitate to ask me (MSN: chronic.impulse@gmail.com). I'm in Pre-Calc so I've already covered all of this.

Well, it would be a good idea just to grab an appropriate text book for those chapters. For example, here in the UK at A levels we do C1, C2 etc. for Maths, and you can get individual specialized books with everything you need to help you.

So yea, you might want to take a trip down to your nearest bookstore.

Well thanks for all of the suggestions and PM's offering personal help. I think I have everything sorted out, so hopefully I'll get an A on the exam. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Well, despite the screwing off, at least your on your **** about getting this scholarship. Best of luck, don't study too hard, just make sure you understand concepts.

I wish I would have had a shot at something like that However, I settled for a 3 year ~$8500 Undergraduate Scholarship and I'm working towards another Scholarship which would pay the rest of my schooling.
