20 year old highschool dropout who did not pay attention to anything after 8th grade and having anxiety about starting community college

As the title says I made some pretty poor decisions starting around 8th grade. I barely attended freshman year of highschool and then dropped out barely before the begging of sophmore year. I earned my GED with an estimated GPA of 3.2 a year after dropping out.

Besides that though in all this time I have not even tried to get caught up on anything education wise. My parents are offering me a last chance and are more than willing to support me and help me pay for college. So I’m starting community college on January 4th and have my placement test in 2 weeks for the core classes. Does anyone have any advice?My main struggle has always been math and I’ve heard that there are remidial classes available for it all the way down to elementary level math.

These past couple of months I have been studying and trying to figure out what all I’ve missed out on but I’m still very anxious about it. My parents keep saying that I’ll be perfectly fine, and that I’m just going to have to work a lot harder than I would’ve if I stayed in school.
