Algebra 1 -> Algebra 2 -> Geometry?

So I bought Cliff Notes Quick Review books for algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry as a refresher before my first college calculus course. I was wondering what order would be the best to go? I know I should take algebra 1 first but then should I take geometry and then go to algebra 2 or vice versa?

In my high school we always went algebra 1 -> geometry -> and algebra 2 which I thought was a little odd.

    I believe that the abstract thinking required in algebra II gets easier the closer you are to adulthood. So take Algebra II last in high school, but if you're an adult, you would probably be better off doing the algebra all in a row.

    For Calculus you need Trigonometry as well as some Analytic Geometry, or pre-Calculus which is Trig and Analytic Geometry together.

    Algebra 1 is the same as Algebra 2, go for Algebra 2 or College Algebra.

    Algebra 2 is pretty much what prepares you the most. You should take Algebra 1 and then Geometry, because you might find some concepts of Algebra in geometry, and then Algebra 2. Or Algebra 1 and 2 and then Geometry.

    You will need Alegbra if you will be taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry.
