If so, was it completely over your head, or are there only certain topics that you struggle with?I know you are repeating yourself from before and I thank you for your patience. It may have to come down to a tutor as in looking at some of the materials I find myself at a loss to comprehend the subject matter. It's not that Iam stupid, my grades and career results tell me that...but, I think it's a matter of being away from the practical application and concepts that leave me confounded.
If it's the latter, then you may want to consider hiring a tutor for a few hours.
I don't think you're going to find an easier test to test out of the math requirement--like I've said before, College Mathematics is barely 9th and 10th grade high school level math, and it's not going to get any lower than that at the college level...
Also, the good thing about math is that there are so many books out there to help you with it. For instance, if you're having trouble with probability, you can easily walk down to your bookstore and pick up middle school and high school workbooks on probability which will really try to explain things in simple terms.
If you tried going through our College Math materials and found it absolutely hopeless, then it may actually be more time efficient to take an online course for math credit instead of trying to study for a test.
Anyway, it's just a hurdle that I have to "crawl" over..can't jump through this one..and press on . Thanks for your input and I'll find a way; somehow ..God willing .
