Math classes that are below calculus?

[cookderosa]

I have credit for the AP Calculus AB. I know that schools usually won't let someone take an easier course after a harder course. Does this apply to my AP exam credit too? i.e. I can't take most of the math classes at Shmoop or Aleks?

And how do I know what counts as a lower course? Some are obvious, but others I'm wondering about, like Trigonometry.

But, I am not too excited for a harder math class anyway. I also personally find Statistics hard. I am trying to do it through Aleks.

SOME schools won't let you go back "down" in maths, but that's a tiny percentage of schools. If you're looking at ALEKS and Shmoop, you're looking at colleges that accept ACE credit, and in that case, none of them care. If you're looking at prestigious schools, then no, you probably won't get to use College Algebra, but it doesn't matter because they won't accept ACE credit anyway. (ALEKS is set to expire tomorrow- double check for their renewal before pursuing)

Basic Sequence
College Math (CLEP) / Math for Liberal Arts (DSST)
Intermediate Algebra (ALEKS)
College Algebra (ALEKS, CLEP)
Trig / PreCalc / College Algebra with PreCalc (various)
Calculus AB/BC (Advanced Placement, CLEP)

Also at any level: Statistics (Advanced Placement, DSST)

IF it were me AND I had Calc credit, you bet without question I'd go back and get EVER. SINGLE. MATH. available to me. Low hanging fruit!
