Math could never keep my attention, I had zero interested in learning it, and of course I figured I would never need it and I would always have a calculator. Now I really wish I had just paid attention and studied!!! Boo to me.

I tried a couple of questions on the Instantcert college math section and I didn't know ANY of the answers. Is the college math CLEP mostly problem solving or are there a lot of math definitions? It seemed like the Instantcert cards for college math were more definitions than problems.

Thanks for your help!!

I am sure that you won't want to be tortured for 12 weeks, but if you do, I took TESC's Math for Liberal Arts. It is MAT105 and would meet the math requirement for any degree except business. It really was very easy- minimal amount of homework and only up to basic basic algebra. (now, I say easy because I think others would call it easy- I had never taken algebra in high school- so for me it was a little uncomfortable) There was a tiny bit of consumer math and a tiny bit of graphing dots on a grid to make a picture
Seriously, you should consider it. The hardest part for me was squeaking out the $$$$ to buy the textbook! Ouch!
