Help to finding A degree/plan.

My math isn't strong either, for Stats, I had 65% on Intro to Stats at SL, I took Business Stats and got an 85%. I took College Algebra and Pre-Calculus at ALEKS, while taking both courses, College Algebra was "easier" for me than Pre-Calc. It depends on the student, but if I would take the course, I would take the easier one even though the final would be a higher percentage.

Let's do a quick calculation, I think it'll be about the same either course you take. So pretend I am working with my College Algebra and I'm doing 80%, up to the final. I'll have 40/100 going into the final. I'll need a 30/100 to pass the course. In order to get 70+ to get credit, you will need to have 60% or higher for the final.

For Precalc, I might be doing 75% up to the final. I'll have 52.5 going into the final. I'll need a 17.5 for the final to pass, that equates to about 58% on the final. Because Precalc is a bit harder for me, I would have a harder time getting that 58% to pass, but it would be easier to get a 60 to pass the College Algebra.

Too bad you missed the ALEKS boat, you may want to take a stab at the Shmoop offerings if math is really an issue for you. For me, I took everything I needed but STATS as I couldn't get pass that dreaded 70%. If Shmoop offered those courses then, I would have tried taking it there. Flip a coin, choose which one you want... just work hard on getting at least a 70%.
