ALEKS stats question

[Merlin]

Not silly at all!!!  I had the same question and frustration in 2008 Learning to use my calculator changed everything lol. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...statistics

I ended up using my own calculator since it didn't say anything about requiring that I use theirs. In fact, I just finished the course without using it once.

It only took 30 days of prep, primarily using the Khan Academy videos and a grueling 8+hour initial assessment test, but I managed to pass on the first assessment with 106 of 116 topics mastered. That had to be longest prep time and the hardest course I've taken to date (though primarily due to my dyscalculia). Doubly so given the unexpected way some of the questions were presented (different approach than the examples I worked while learning) coupled with the fact that they tested for material not provided in my Khan Academy review.

Given all that, I should have tried the Business Stats assessment instead since I should have passed with a 77%, but there is no way I am going to do that assessment again. I don't need a UL stats course anyway.
