There's always The Manga Guide to Statistics.

They do Calculus and Linear Algebra, too!

i don't know if i'm horrified by this manga, or delighted.
i'm math-phobic (embarrassingly so), so i did "social science stats" at my local CC, and ended up getting an A+ despite bombing the final. I have no idea how it happened -- i did great on every exam and project up until the final, but i essentially left a lot of answers blank on the final and still got the A+.
That seems statistically impossible, but what do i know about stats? I quit the final :p
Anyway, my opinion with courses that you're not comfortable with is to go a traditional route. that's probably not a popular opinion around here, but i think one should know their weaknesses and tackle them head on. Speech and math courses seem to often fall into this category. Composition as well, i believe.

I had a hard time getting statistics. I tried aleks, and straighterline (intro not business) and ended up using sophia. I loved sophia's video based approach. They focus a bit more on research design than you would in a normal stats course, but I don't mind that. Honestly, I welcomed the research design areas because it broke up the stats part!
It's a bit pricier than our other options and I took it when they were offering a special, but I'd do it again even at full price because I was so frustrated with the other offerings.

Ok,. I'll be getting that manga one just because.
The Udacity MOOC seems like what I'm looking for, I think I'll try that and a stats textbook for additional study.

I haven't used it just yet but I used their sister site for accounting and would recommend it 100%

First post here. Been searching for UExcel Statistics exam specific feedback. I have two exam left for my general education and I'm starting full time in the Excelsior BSN program in January. I've been using Study.com and blowing out an exam a week for the last couple months with acceptable results. I've hit Statistics now and I'm a little concerned. I give myself 2 weeks for this one but I'd like some feed back on the exam itself. Has anyone taken it? What were your thoughts? Some of the exams seem to run fast and loose with the grading so I'm wondering how difficult it is to get a C grade. I went into the Weather and Climate exam poorly prepared and only truly knew about 10% of the material on the test. of the 5 areas they grade, I got 70% in one of them, 64% in another and 50% and BELOW in the other 3 areas and still passed with a C grade. Hoping it's the same thing for Statistics but don't have a clue what to expect.
I've built out my signature to show what I've done incase I can offer any advice to others that need it.
Thanks
