Thanks CMKStar,
OK, I am feeling a little bit better then. Any particular threads/references/websites you found particularly helpful? I am using education portal because the video format and short sequences work for my adult ADD brain. (I am self diagnosing!)
Since ALEKs is on the fence, what do you think about joining it for the next couple weeks (isn't it 20 dollars a month) to see how far I get on the "Pie" and if i pass it in a couple weekends it looks like it's showing up on at least one members transcript...so maybe it's worth the 20 dollar gamble? I am seriously afraid of taking the CLEP for College Algebra. I mean full blown shaking and palpitations. It's the whole, "I have no idea what I am doing, and everyone must be looking at me thinking I am nuts with this panic I am in" feeling. I can't believe now that I finally have the courage to get ALEK's done, they are thinking of not getting ACE certified (: O !!! So I am thinking of just enrolling if it only costs 20 bucks and a couple weekends of trying. Do I need a textbook? If yes, do you (or anyone else have a top 5 resources for passing the one, last math class for TESC so I can go on and get my last 2 nursing courses done at TESC?
You guys are already my friends...so I can't even bribe you with, "I'll be your best friend"!
I am just so traumatized by my previous math experiences that's why I am still talking about math 9 months after I signed onto Instant Cert. It's the monkey on my back and I sure would love to get him off already!
Thanks!
Tara
