i hope my recommendation for ADD/depression which is dead serious but which was given with levity doesn't detract from my dead, dead serious recommendation (for everyone) to utilize EDX and Khan Academy+community college rather than hopping into a university. Definitely knock out 52 credit hours or whatever the maximum is allowed for a university at a community college. It's a shorter commute, local students, costs 1/5 as much, excellent professors, and isn't the giant for-profit snarling beast of corporate america which is the university proper. maybe that's just my take, but the truth is universities aren't going to accept these new, free online formats and adapt to utilize them fully at the rate which they should.
OP: if you're interested in math i'd recommend knocking out everything on Khan Academy and doing some practice problems, perhaps online or perhaps in a used textbook, before taking your placement test, OR if you want to just sign up for whatever class you get placed into and utilize Khan until Khan is irrelevant which appears to be post-calculus. there are literally 100+ videos on Khan about prepping for standardized testing in addition to segments for each type of math up to calculus taught in a format that is easy, easy, easy to watch at your leisure and taught by some badass who is fun to listen to.
Everyone in intro to bio/poly sci/math etc should recommend to their classmates in class on the first day to utilize Khan and recommend to their teachers to put it on their syllabus' as addition study sources. Every highschool teacher and every intro class in college should be utilizing these, no excuses.
