Hi bluetooth,
The CLEP Algebra & Trigonometry exam is no longer available. It has been replaced by CLEP Precalculus.
If you need to fulfill a "precalculus or above" requirement you have the following options:
1) CLEP College Algebra
(Excelsior accepts this exam to fulfill precalc but TESC requires Trigonometry as well.)
2) CLEP College Algebra AND CLEP Trigonometry
3) Precalculus
- If you are going to Excelsior, you should probably go with option 1 (easier of the three options).
- If you are going to TESC, you will need to go with option 2, or option 3.
- It seems to me, that it would be easier to pass ONE exam (Precalculus), than to try and pass TWO exams (College Algebra AND Trigonometry).
Personally, I haven't taken any. I would rather put my hand in a meatgrinder than to take any of these exams. But given no such alternative, I would go with College Algebra.
Hope that helps,
