If you are really worried about math ALEKS might really be a good idea. I found if I stuck to it and copied every explanation I could get through. I can teach middle school math and have no real problem understanding Algebra or even Trigonometry, but Statistics threw me ALEKS took a while but I did get through it.
As for the degree you are seeking at what level do you want to coach Middle school, high school, college? I don't know what subject your former credits are in but they will fit into any degree in either general or free electives so don't let them be a deciding factor. You will need 120 credits total for a BA or BS so where the credits you have now go is not going to that.
Never let what you have not done earlier impede what you are doing now. I was in my 50's when i started back to school i only wanted my AA just so I could say I had a degree. Now I have an AA & a BA and am working on a second of each, I have a new career and my horizons are limitless. I was told about CLEP years before I started back I don't know if I would have stuck with it(and never failed a test) without the help and support of this forum.
