Need help with TESU college algebra testing choices... - tesu-acct-student - 03-10-2016
Hi again,
I still need College Algebra (TESU MAT-121). I was planning to take it at my local cc over the summer, but you guys are convincing me that it would be cheaper and possibly easier to test out of it. I would appreciate some guidance. From reading here, this is what I've gleaned about the College Algebra testing choices:
- Saylor/NCCRS
- CLEP
- TECEP
- Straighterline
Random relevant stuff:
- I am currently enrolled at the local cc taking the pre-req for that class. Am now considering dropping it. Drop date is March 14 but will get a W on the transcript. I'm OK with that if I can develop a good plan between now and then.
- I don't understand how Aleks credits work. I've done Aleks in the past (stats) and didn't like it.
- Just signed up for IC last night.
- I want to be finished with everything for the Sept graduation (July 1 deadline).
- I'm not math-phobic but I do need a good plan.
Ideas??

I know you said you weren't considering ALEKS, but if you're already comfortable with the content, ALEKS is my favorite for super cheap quick-and-dirty credit.
If you're not ready yet, IC and Khan Academy (or the like) combined will get you everywhere you need to be for the CLEP. That's the route I took.

You could also take ALEKS Intermediate Algebra to work your way up to College Algebra. Having done all of these classes, the non-stats options are a completely different and more manageable experience from the stats courses.

Is ALEKS still non-proctored or has that setup changed

Still non-proctored.
