ALEKS (and other tools) for Learning vs Credit

[cptdilbert]

For completing my degree I decided to avoid non-regionally accredited sources of credits, with the exception of CLEP and DSST exams for less than 1/4 of my credits, to focus on a quality transcript for graduate school.

One of the things I need to do is refresh my math skills, although I have completed courses through Calculus 10+ years ago. I am looking for good sources to refresh my skill level, but I do not need any credits.

Without the credits, would you still recommend ALEKS? What other tools would you recommend purely for learning?

Thanks in advance for the responses!

I think the best learning tool out there for math is still Khan Academy. He has improved the website, it's no longer just videos- you can now follow an actual curriculum that keeps track of your progress and offers little quiz check-points that require mastery. I can't say enough about it. It's really excellent. http://www.khanacademy.org

EDIT: It starts at Arithmetic and goes through Multivariable Calculus
