$900 for a precalculus course? Who's ripping you off?
Others can pipe in with test study methods, but what I'll throw in on this is:
If you have to take a class, take it online with some community college. Worst case is it'll set you back a couple hundred bucks at worst.

Yeaaaaa, the Pre-calculus test is brand new. It replaced the lovely trig. test. Study material? I just headed to Borders and picked out a book or two. Get on CLEPs website and match the "topics covered" to whichever book you get.
oh - I'd go for the $65 CLEP before I went for the class. Never know!

They might not accept a CLEP, but couldn't you take the class through a community college and transfer it? I just can't see spending $900 bucks just for the UMASS logo on that, is all.
