Math phobic and need to do math for Excelsior
#1
So my last math class was in 1976 - yes, I'm that old! I'm now very math phobic and I need to meet the Excelsior requirement for 3 units of college level math.

Any suggestions from others (who aren't especially skilled in math!)?

Thanks!

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun.   Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior.  And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

Although I have not tried it personally (yet), You might be a good candidate for Aleks ( ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math ). There are many posts if you do a search.
They also offer a free trial that may tell you where you are at.

There are lots of math resources at the library. Standard deviant videos, refresher books, etc. I like Princeton Review and Kaplan. The General Clep test prep books have reviews and an assessment test.

Good Luck
