I just completed my second day of studying for the first exam. I am not a weak student per-say but I'm am nervous with this since I have not taken a math class in over 10 years!!:ack:
Has anyone taken this class lately? Is it still un-timed and multiple choice?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated!!!cheersmate

I believe it's multiple choice and I also think it's a 2 hour limit per exam. I haven't used Straighterline yet...but some one will chime in soon to correct me haha.

I did Aleks not straighterline, but it does seem to get easier after a while. It had been over 20 years since my last math class when I did it. So if I could do it you can too.

Here's a tool I used. It definitely made it much easier.
Just do your work and use this to "check" your answers. Definitely helped me get my A in the class

Use the Mathway tool. I had a friend who did an in seat class and the only way she made it through was Mathway.
