I was going to go in the direction of this clep but decided to go in another direction.

From what I have heard from people close to prep is that its deep into Algebra. I would have taken it but instead found coursework I could do.

My prep source was Yourteacher.com, which has concise lessons through college algebra as well as lower mathematical review. I think it would have been enough to get a good score given a little time but I found a better way.

You can try ALEKS College Algebra or Precalc without Trig to prepare but if you are stressed for time this might not work out as it takes a lot of time and energy if you arent already well versed.

All the best to you and hope you do well on the actual test.

I'm struggling preparing for Algebra as well. Standard Deviants has a video series. Algebra |Linear Equations Playlist I'm also using REA. Hopes this helps.

Any one know how CLEP Algebra compares to the new DSST Fundamentals of Algebra? Both are pass/fail so I'm not worried about a grade-just need to pass.

I too am preparing for the College Algebra clep...

I am using the REA book mostly, this is my guide I use a few other books and the internet for any specific questions.

Anyone know how close the REA tests are to the real thing?
