Aleks or Straighterline?
#1
I need to take precalculus. I am trying to get a BSBA from Thomas Edison. Does anybody have an opinion if I should go with Aleks or Straighterline? I am not great in Math. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried ALEKS' free membership? It's only for three hours, but it might help you determine if it's the best approach for you. ALEKS is less of a teaching tool and more of a testing device. If you don't understand a problem that is presented, you can opt for an explanation. If you opt for the explanation, it explains that problem, and gives you a different one to answer.

Good luck.

I did ALEKs but it takes a lot of time. You do learn in ALEKs because you keep doing problem after problem. It is not easy. But I would sign up and try it out.
If you do go with ALEKs make sure and print the explanations to the problems you get wrong to a PDF for later reference.
You do a problem, if you get it wrong the system shows you how to do it, you can print this out and use the explanation to learn from for the next time you get that type of question.

FYI TESC accepts ALEKS Trig as fulfilling your pre-cal requirement. Might help you out.
