Quote:I noticed that EC requires at least precalc for math. I was worried about getting through college algebra, let alone precalc. Has anyone got through this that was not at all good with math?
Algebra was my Waterloo, having not taken or used Algebra my entire adult life. Thankfully, I learned about Penn Foster from other forum members.
If you look at my signature you'll notice three classes that I took from Penn Foster to fill Excelsior Business Requirements. Those three are ACE approved courses. The Technical Math I handles the Algebra requirement. The Technical Math cost about $170 with proctor fee, Info Literacy $70 and Finance $200. Penn Foster courses are self paced, so you could finish them in two to three weeks if you were pressed. You can choose your proctor, as long as they have an AA degree and are not related to you (I chose my son's girlfriend hilarious ) The approval process for the proctor takes a couple weeks. Another forum member fulfilled the 2nd Accounting requirement through Penn Foster.
Do a few forum searches on Penn Foster, Technical Math I.
