Default How am I going to do this?

I started my degree a hundred years ago (1977 to be exact) and have started and stopped more times than I want to admit. I have a plan now and CLEP and DSST factor big in this plan. I am aiming for a business degree and I finally have exactly the courses I will need. I can test out of 9 of the 14 still remaining. Based on all of your advice, I feel confident I can succeed at this. Unfortunately, I am math phobic. My last math class was Algebra 1 in ninth or tenth grade and I barely got through it. Of course, I was succeeding more at Partying 101 back then and school was definitely not a priority. I will have to get a College Math or College Algebra course and a Statistics course to finish. My questions are: What do you think is my best course of action to take to get this accomplished? What resources should I invest in to get to the point where I can pass these exams? Do I have to go back and start at Pre algebra and work up to it or is that overkill? I saw another post that recommends ALEK tutorials, do I start at College Algebra there? Obviously i want to put in the least amount of effort so that I can move forward with the rest of my degree. I feel like knowing I have to get through these 2 courses has held me back in the past.

I look forward to any advice you may give me. I just need a push to get started. I think I just need to take one of these exams to get me over the hump.

Thanks in advance, ccg
