I took College Algebra and Pre-Calculus at ALEKS, while taking both courses, College Algebra was "easier" for me than Pre-Calc. It depends on the student, but if I would take the course, I would take the easier one even though the final would be a higher percentage.
Let's do a quick calculation, I think it'll be about the same either course you take. So pretend I am working with my College Algebra and I'm doing 80%, up to the final. I'll have 40/100 going into the final. I'll need a 30/100 to pass the course. In order to get 70+ to get credit, you will need to have 60% or higher for the final.
For Precalc, I might be doing 75% up to the final. I'll have 52.5 going into the final. I'll need a 17.5 for the final to pass, that equates to about 58% on the final. Because Precalc is a bit harder for me, I would have a harder time getting that 58% to pass, but it would be easier to get a 60 to pass the College Algebra.
Too bad you missed the ALEKS boat, you may want to take a stab at the Shmoop offerings if math is really an issue for you. For me, I took everything I needed but STATS as I couldn't get pass that dreaded 70%. If Shmoop offered those courses then, I would have tried taking it there. Flip a coin, choose which one you want... just work hard on getting at least a 70%.
Okay, I kinda want to use one from SL, since I got a sub there atm. It's either College Algebra or Pre-Calculus, but I think I'll go with Pre-Calculus, which will count I guess? It's kind of confusing.

There has been quite a bit of positive feedback on the Study.com math courses. The reason we're recommending the College Algebra is because it is showing as the clear requirement listed for the BSBA; refer to my earlier post. If you do opt for the Shmoop route, remember you need to pass both Algebra I & Algebra II through them to get the 3 credits that you need.

I don't think i'll go with Shmoop since I prefer SL's format.
I guess I have to contact TESU.

Precalc assumes that you know algebra. The algebra in precalc will be harder and you will have to learn some trig on top of the algebra. It's also not very clear if TESU will accept Precalc in place of College Algebra, so if you really want to do that, make sure you get them to plan the Precalc course into your eval first.

Yeah, I'll try to do that. Thanks

Do I need financial accounting and managerial accounting (both SL) for BSBA?

If you're using SL for those, you need to take Accounting I & II. They are also available through Study.com

I have already taken Accounting I & II through SL. I got a membership at SL for another 2 weeks and I want to get a few more courses before it expires.

If you take Financial Accounting there, it comes into TESU as ACC-201 (Intermediate Accounting) and Managerial Accounting comes in as ACC-303 (Cost Accounting). A good bet to do these if you've already taken Acct I & II there, should be fairly easy.

Okay, last question! These 2 courses can be used without the accounting concentration, right?
Thanks by the way.
