Anyone have any experience with either of these programs for College Algebra or Statistics? Which is easier and faster to complete? Thanks.

First is just another software package, while Straighterline is a program which is also worth college credit.

ALEKS is $20 a month for Intermediate Algebra through Pre-cal, at your own fast pace. Not sure how the other schools take it, but at TESC everything from Int Alg through Pre-cal is worth 3 hours each, and trig counts as your pre-cal requirement if pre-cal is required in your program.
