I'm going to take Statistics.
1) I tried ALEKS and found it clunky and poorly designed.
2) I've looked into Saylor -- and although virtually free -- the content SEEMS cluttered and all over the place.
Maybe preparing for dsst Principles of Statistics using a textbook would be better?
Any thoughts from experience would be appreciated.

I took statistics through study.com
It was pretty straightforward and not too hard.
I also too foundations of statistics through Sophia.
Also straight forward with a good UI and not too hard.

The easiest is StraighterLine Business Statistics, do not take the Introduction to Statistics as it uses Acrobatiq.
I think Study.com's statistics should be about the same in ease, but I haven't taken it from them before...

Thank you... but what is Acrobatiq?

Thank you, I'll look into that

StraighterLine uses "licenses" of several educational systems, their majority of courses use Mcgraw-Hill (these are the ones I recommend). I think they have 4 or 5 courses now running on Acrobatiq, it's another system they license from. Then they've got a third provider for their Calculus courses (Thinkwell) and another provider (Zyante) for their Introduction to C++ Programming!
CLEP/DSST, Davar, Saylor, Sophia, Study.com, all have their own testing system in place. Onlinedegree.com uses the Great Courses as their learning material and have created tests based on those books for credit... It's interesting, I think it's profitable even though they only charge for the proctoring at $9/exam. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid265785

I second taking stats through Study.com. I finished the whole course and the final in a week. Get to know your calculator and its functions. It'll save you a ton of headaches. I personally used a Texas Instruments TI-36X Pro Engineering/Scientific Calculator. It was $19 on Amazon.

Lol I used a Texas instruments ti-5100.
I have since found some old scientific and graphing calculators for my more advanced math classes.

I took the dreaded Stats course through Study.com, as my VERY last course for my BSBA (even after the capstone) and it wasn't as terrible as I expected. Lot's more theory than math there - I found that I did better studying the vocabulary than the formulas.
