I Just Dropped Out

Saylor is now offering Calculus I for ACE credit, and they have many other advanced math classes available too, if you'd like an intro before you take the classes through BYU.
Good luck!

Not sure whether you can simply rock on up and take classes, but it may be worth an email ... American Military University.
Last time I checked all undergraduate classes don't have examinations, it's just coursework; well it was when I was an active student.
They're regionally accredited etc etc and I personally found them super friendly.
The $250 a credit may just be worth it to get that gorilla to disappear ... let's be honest, isn't calculus and physics a little less daunting when you don't have the prospect of an exam??
I don't mind a bit of calculus myself, but to consider sharing those private moments with a stranger from ProctorU staring at you, is enough to make even the strongest of stomachs turn off the laptop and go and eat cake ....

Thanks to everyone for the great resources. I am extremely excited about my decision. I read through some of the BYU College Algebra assignments this morning and realized that it will take a while to get through it, but by the time I am finished, I will have a far better conceptual understanding.

I will post updates about my status. Mainly because I like to talk

Thankfully, I have a community college about 3 miles from my house with an amazing test center. I have developed quite the rapport with the proctors which helps keep the stress level down.

At Florida universities, a lot of degrees in the physical sciences require three semesters of calculus. I could handle those classes if I really wanted to, but calculus has never seemed particularly intuitive to me (and this is coming from someone with a 4.0 GPA entering his senior year of college), so avoiding excessive amounts of high-level math was one consideration I made when choosing degree programs.

betterexplained.com does an excellent job at explaining calculus at an intuitive level. It's one of my favorite math blogs.

I respect that decision 100%!

Sal does a great job, but he seems a little confusing at times. Sometimes he doesn't work in sequence ie: he doesn't work up from the easiest to the hardest problem. I also found Thinkwell very helpful.

I second the Thinkwell recommendation. I used it and the REA study guide to pass the CLEP test. Even If you are going to be taking it in a class and are just looking for study material to help you understand concepts, I think Thinkwell does a wonderful job of explaining
