Totally agree. Watch a course like this, read something like Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus P. Thompson, and then work through all the problems in a book like Calculus Workbook For Dummies. Watch Khan Academy to fill in any areas where you're struggling.

A lot of times you can find old problem sets, quizzes and tests on the course websites for past sections of courses. Just google something like
https://www.google.com/search?q="linear+algebra"+problems+si...
https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&q=calculus+...
https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&q=calculus+...
or variations on that theme. There's a ton of stuff out there.
If you want a print book, check the various "Schaums Outlines" books, or books in the "For Dummies" series with "Workbook" in the title (ex, "Calculus Workbook for Dummies", etc.) There's also the "Problem Solvers" books and those "Humongous Book of X" books. For example:

and so on...
