Hi everyone!
I just found out that one of the prerequisites I need for grad school is Algebra. The guy who interviewed me said that I could CLEP it to get it over with quickly, especially since I have a 2 full summer semesters to take, and grad school starts in the fall (if I get accepted).
Of course, I smiled and said that that's a great idea, thanks for your help. BUT what I (conveniently) neglected to tell him was that I am not a math person. To put it mildly. I didn't take any math in high school-- no trig, algebra, geometry, nothing. I took accounting instead of all that stuff.
SO-- my question is, with my (non-existent) background in math, is clepping Algebra even an option?
