ALEKS College Algebra & Intro to Statistics - LOFI - 06-12-2012
My daughter just competed Intermediate Algebra with ALEKS and we were wondering about the ALEKS College Algebra & Intro to Statistics. Any comments on which of these is more difficult?
My daughter will not be majoring in math or science but since she has done well with math may eventually decide to take both.
Thanks!

I would establish an ACE account and have the aleks scores (above 70%) recorded. They may prove useful one day. https://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=transcripts.main
Difficulty seems to depend on approach, others are better suited to answer that question.

rebel100 thanks for the response. Right after she completed the course we had ACE review it and we are all set there.
Still wondering if anyone has taken these course and could give input on which might be better to take next.

Hi, I just completed college algebra. I'm 50 years old and had taken algebra and trig many years ago. I thought that I could just jump right in and pick up where I left off. It didn't work like that. My assessment was really low at first for college algebra. So I went all the way back to beginner algebra. It took some time, but I didn't find any of it overwhelming. I plan to tackle stats now.
To answer your question, If she was OK with intermediate algebra, she will be fine with college algebra.
