Sorry to hear you failed this one. College Algebra is a major hurdle for a LOT of people.
I honestly think they should allow "Intro to College Algebra", or "Fundamentals of College Algebra" to be sufficient. They allow "Intro to ...." or "Principles of ...." for many other subjects including many core Business subjects, but not for Algebra. It's a shame really!
I definitely think a course is the way to go for most of us who really don't stand much chance of passing the CLEP. Like you, I will probably take the exam first, just to see. But in the end, I think I too will end up having to take a course.
Colorado Community College offers an online College Algebra course that has UNPROCTORED, UNTIMED, OPEN BOOK, quizzes and final exam. They even allow you to take each test/exam twice and only count your highest score towards your grade. It costs $649.20 per 3-credit course (for non-residents). This may be an option worth considering.

Don't worry Lynda, you'll make it....this is just a bump in the road.
Good luck,
