Quote:Sign up for ALEKS and work through that, even if you decide to test out of it at least can teach it to yourself and do the necessary review. If you can use ALEKS for the grade all the better. But I would move on and take some of your other tests while you work through ALEKS. I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself and giving the pre-calc too much control.
I agree with those comments. My son took the Straighterline Precalculus after doing an ALEKS refresher. He never even used the book and got an A and finished the course in about 3 days. I still have the book which I will gladly send to you free of charge, just PM me. Two things about the Straighterline format. It follows the book, which will make it easier especially if you have someone there who can assist in explanations that you don't understand. Second, most Straighterline courses require a lot of effort to get an A, but a lot less effort to get a C or 70% pass. I'm not suggesting that it is easy, but it is doable and the format may work a little better for you.....and you can't quit. That's not allowed here.
