I realize StraighterLine is the new hot thing for math around here but it sounds tough-- thus my evaluating PFC.

Thoughts, anyone?[/quote]

I was wondering about PFC also. I started doing Straighterline, got an 85% on the first test and a 60% on the second. Both times I went in w/out studying thinking I could use their website info and a book on algebra from the library. I was dead wrong. I even felt confident I was going to get an 80-90 on the second test. Like others have posted, it may be the best thing going out there for algebra, but you must respect it. I graduated in 1976 and was weak in math, how dare I think I could easily pass when all I really remembered was the foil method. Now, I'm dug in trying to protect the perimeter. I've got a battle on my hands, do I slowly proceed or retreat and engage at the Battle of Alek's? Since this is my last class, that is the question. I was hoping PFC Practical Algebra would also be an option but that seems to have lost favor, if in fact it is ACE approved.......What has actually happened in my case is not that I can't learn it, I can. I have lost the desire. I am trying to finish quickly for personal reasons but when we know we are weak in something, it just doesn't work that way.
