I need to share this with all the other math phobics out there. In the process of looking for a summer shool statistics class I happened upon THE ALEKS system. Essentially it is an enhanced computer AI math tutuor. I pay 19.99 a month and the system evaluates current abilities and creates a pie chart of where you stand mathematically. It won't allow you to progress until you show neccesary mastery. You can do the work online and print out reinforcement quizzes etc., I have been saved! I hope it helps!

Yes, I signed up too. It is probably a very good thing because, according to the assessment, I would have been in deep doodoo. I am not even skilled at the level of INTERMEDIATE algebra...let alone college. Thanks for the tip!

Shoto, Check out the site they give you a free 48 hrs. IMHO it will help anyone improve their math abilities.

I'll certainly be using this system to study for CLEP College Algebra, which I'll be taking in mid-July if all goes as planned.
Nodean: What math exam in particular are you studying for?

Anar, this site is used exclusively by a local jc instructor for online statistics, a class I need. When I checked it out I did the free assesment and realized I wasn't ready so i'm using it now to brush up my skills starting with pre-algebra on through to statistics. Have you tried the free trial? I have been using the program for about two hours a day and I'm really happy with it.

Not yet, I have the page bookmarked. I just signed up for the free trial (going through the tutorial now). I'm focusing on other exams at the moment so I don't want to get too involved with math.

I was wondering if anyone else has feedback about this online math tutor. It sounds pretty useful! I think I am going to sign up...I am currently studying for the College Math CLEP and I am watching the 10 hour Math DVD Tutor.
