I need to take a statistics course, and I'm really not a numbers person, so taking the clep isn't really an option for me. Anyone have experience with either the Excelsior Statistics course or the Excelsior Statistics for Health Care course? Which one is easier and requires less math?
Thanks!

I wouldn't call it easy, but have you considered ALEKS Stats? It is self-paced ($20/month) and may be upper-level credit depending on your major.

Straighterline is also a good option. The website of the textbook has chapter quizzes with questions that are very similar to the ones of the actual SL tests. If you need more practice google some of the questions of the chapters and you will find many schools that posts practice questions for their students.
You could check the level of the questions solve each chapter quiz and whenever you feel comfortable sign up for the class and just take the tests and pass for only $99 since the 1course is free. The textbook was very cheap I think I paid like 9 bucks for it

Really? May I ask why you are required to take a class?

Well, I guess I'm not exactly required to, but in order to use my fafsa I have to take at least one class.
