I actually took this and passed - but it was about 6 years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have any words of wisdom for you. The only way I passed it was to take a basic developmental Algebra class (which would be the class to get you ready for College Algebra) and then took the Clep cold.

I barely passed by a few points, but it took care of it. I do remember thinking "crap, I never learned any of this". I wish I had more to offer in terms of helping. Good luck to you!!
