College algebra, Precalc + Calculus
#1
Happy new year people.

Those of you that have done these courses please let me know which provider you did them with and your experience. I am mainly loking at study.com , straighterline, ed4redit etc BUT not ALEKS! ALEKS is not for my learning style, too linear a thinker.

Best regards

I'm going to say that the cheapest way is to learn the material for free (Khan Academy is one way) and then take Modern States to get your vouchers and take the CLEP exams. The benefit to CLEP is that it is THE most accepted form of alternative credit that we discuss here.

Thanks for the response. The problem is that I am not in the US and my future college will accept any ACE recommeded or NCCRS course which is why I limit myself to those. BTW have you taken any math course with the aformentioned?

CLEP is ACE recommended - but there may not be any CLEP testing centers near you.

Yes, I and my kids have used Khan Academy plenty of times.  I personally don't need Precalc/Calc, but my son will be in precalc next year, and if there are any questions/problems, he'll be going to Khan since it's been more than 30 years since I've done precalc and can't help much.

I would say either SL or Study.com are you best bet.  But, again, I might learn for free on Khan before doing the courses on either, since with both you are paying by the month.

I can't speak for pre-calc or calc, but for Algebra I studied at Khan academy to learn the subject and then took the free clep test using modern states. Depending on background knowledge you can do khan academy fairly quickly, and this is definitely the cheapest option since it's free. Clep is taken at most places that study.com or SL are accepted so I'd do it that way. I've heard study.com's course style just doesn't lend itself to teaching math thoroughly.
