Hi Jennifer!
Thanks so much for all the helpful info. For me right now, time is of the essence so I'm a bit concerned as to how long getting through ALEKS will take, but in all, it appears to be my best option (as opposed to taking the CLEP or a course at a local community college (though I *have*considered looking into a summer session).
The class I'm working on is Intermediate Algebra as I understand that's the lowest level ALEKS option for credit at TESC. Given my lack of math know-how (and believe me, it *is* lacking), anything beyond that would possibly be the equivalent of asking me to perform brain surgery. :-)
Thanks again for the info!

Go into your master account and see if the option exists to "edit student billing" and that is where you can add your payment info. If that option does NOT exist, you can simply call customer support and ask. I'm with you, if you go through the work, you certainly don't want to start over!
For math help, I love Khan Academy. That's my "go to" for myself and my kids. You didn't say the class you are trying, but beg. algebra is probably where you should start. There is a lot of over-lap, so when you pass beg. algebra at 70%, you can then take the inter. algebra assessment and not feel like you're starting from scratch. You'll likely have a much higher starting percent. (and you can stop there for most TESC BA) or you can go on to College Algebra, then Precal/trig. Also, stats is an option.
I think ALEKS is great for 1 class, but it's fantastic for the cumulative effect of grabbing alllll the math credit. You'll get your math requirement filled and some electives too.
