Hello,
I am a highschool homeschooled senior this year, working toward a Bachelor of Science in Applied Science and Technology with TESC (33 credits so far via CLEPS, DANTAS, and Straighterline).
I passed the College Algebra CLEP a few months ago and am currently taking Straighterline Pre-Calc. This is becoming impossible for me to tackle and I'm about ready to give up.
Can anyone tell me what other options there might be to fulfill TESC math requirements for Information Technology?
I still need one other math course higher than College Algebra. I was thinking of Discrete Mathematics with TESC once I enroll. Might this be more doable?
Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help!

ALEKS trigonometry or precal. Both duplicate and are counted as precal.

You'll especially want to be comfortable with trigonometry (which is part of precalculus, no need to do it through a categorical "Trigonometry" course) if you take physics for one of your science requirements. As a rule, "algebra-based physics" is really "algebra- and trig-based physics."

I haven't attempted ALEKS trigonometry, but I heard it could potentially be easier since it only covers trigonometry as opposed to precal which covers algebra and trigonometry.

I took TESC Discrete Mathematics, and I think it's a pretty enjoyable course. Definitely the easiest of the "senior" math courses available, and quite interesting. To be frank, the material is mostly review from what I did in highschool previously, so I think you can do it.
