For the fearful, I have never - even to this day- taken algebra, and I passed stats. So, no algebra in high school and no algebra in college.
I dropped out of ALEKS stats before being able to assess at 70%, but switched to Khan videos and doing the whole series (taking notes, and doing practice problems) was absolutely enough for me to pass the DSST.
Before you decide if you can learn statistics, watch the Annenberg series Against All Odds. You'll see, you can do it! (at least watch the first one) Resource: Against All Odds: Inside Statistics
PS I wanted to add that I did stats DSST after I finished my degree. I just wanted to see if I could do it - no pressure of "needing" the credit. :hurray: It can be done!!
