Learn the basics first on your own. Don't try to rush through it without reading an entire book on it. You cannot do that. A 180 page book should be readable in 10 hours or so. Read the book then sign up for straighterline. I did both accounting I and II at straighterline in less than a week but I had read that book and math is easy for me.
You can also do business communications there and statistics. Highly recommended.
Basic math is extremely easy for me. I just have no idea what Accounting holds. I will definitely take your suggestions. I haven't had to take any really advanced Math, so that's why I'm kind of trying to see what Accounting is all about. People say it's very hard, but others say Math classes are WAY harder. I'm torn. :ack:
