Precalculus CLEP Material

[mysonx3]

Honestly, if I were you, I'd just go take the darn test and see how you do.  If you pass, you're done.  If you're not, you can see what it entails and then study from there.

I'd do either Khan Academy, or Modern States.  It can't hurt to just start and see how it goes.

If you just want to take an actual course at a CC, you could do Rio Salado.  It's more expensive than other CC's, but it has rolling start dates (so a class starting every Monday), and a choice of 8 weeks or 14 weeks.

Thanks for the quick response. So, the issue with that is I have to wait 6 months to take it again if I fail, but by then my university affiliation will expire and I'd have to re-enroll and take the course. So, I have to get it right the first time. I'm just concerned learning over 1000 pages plug doing practice problems will be very difficult to do in the 3 months I have. This is my only chance to graduate. I don't have $6500 to pay for the class and a loan isn't an option because it's less than half-time. Like I said, I need to get it right the first time.

The re-test period is 3 months, not 6.

As dfrecore states, the waiting period is only 3 months, so if you take the test ASAP you'll get another shot at it if you fail. That's definitely what I'd do.

How recently did you take College Algebra? If it was relatively recently, you've got a great head start on Precalculus. The way I see it, Precalculus has two parts: Algebra, and Trigonometry. If you know Algebra well already, that's gravy. As far as study material, by far the best resource I used for my Math CLEPs was InstantCert. Go through as many of the problem flashcards as possible. My guess is there will be a lot of stuff you already know how to do, or can figure out pretty easily from what you do know. When you come across one you don't know, watch a video (Khan Academy and YayMath were my go-tos) on the corresponding subject.
