Taking SL Precalc instead of CLEP

[jm82792]

I've been studying for the CLEP Precalc and DSST Statistics.
But although I'm about 2/3 done covering all the material(Statistics has to be DSST) I feel the test might be too much for me.
Straighterline can be costly but I'm hoping my CLEP study covers SL good enough that in a month I could kill it. As I go through my text books each subject seems to be very deep although I'm guessing the CLEP won't go very far(EI basis of each subject verses an entire course on each one) into each chapter. I like the familiarity of SL but I don't want to shock myself when I signup and realize I'm in for it.
I know I'm being a bit vague but I just don't want to be out $140 and realize it's much more intensive then taking the CLEP; especially with only having to get a 50 on it.

Overall what do you guys think is the better choice?

A or B? Well maybe C. Sounds like ALEKs will suit your needs pretty nice (granted the school you're going to will accept them).

ALEKs is a lot cheaper, and I like the way ALEKs is set up better (compared to SL) as well. You could get your PreCalc requirement AND your Stats. Sounds like you've been studying quite a bit so there's not much left for ya to do (since you only need to hit 70%). I'd bet you'd be able to nock both of them out in a month, which would only be $20 and then you'd have to send an ACE transcript which is $40, so for both of them, you're looking at $60, $80 tops for BOTH courses. BTW, you may be able to google (or call ALEKs for) a discount code and save another $5. Not sure if one is out there right now or not, but I know they've had them in the past.

If ALEKs isn't an option, I'd go ahead and try SL. It may be worth it to give ALEKs a shot, I did, and loved it.

Wow what a trip...
I started a small business that's kept me busy for the past year. Revenue is decent, but it's growing, and I'm able to buy the equipment I need.
College was on hold but now that I've got a handle on the business I'm hoping to bring ti all back.
Aleks was started yesterday with some terrible brain fog, but it's all coming back to me now
