I’m just wondering if anyone has taken Business Statistics and had it accepted by CSU. On the CSU website it states that college algebra is a pre-requisite for the class, but I’ve transferred in credit for classes where I hadn’t taken the listed pre-requisite class. I also recently enrolled in a class and my advisor came back and said I couldn’t take it until I had taken the pre-requisite class, so it’s a little confusing and I don’t want to spend the extra money to take a class I might not be able to transfer. 
I’m going to check with the evaluator tomorrow, but sometimes they’re weird about giving info on credits since it has to be approved by another department, they can’t always say for sure. So, if anyone has done it, I’d love to hear about it.

My advice to you is drop the SL algebra and go the Sophia route.. as previously posted Stats and Algebra are free-99 until the 31st.. 

Stats is its own different kind of special.. not necessarily "easier" just not as order oriented as Algebra...

With any math course notes and videos (youtube) are literally your best friends,  Khan academy is o.k. but some of their instructors tend to "drone" in the videos (think of the monotone visine commercial guy).. but there are plenty of other easy to follow resources... 

With algebra in particular-  O-O-O Order Of Operations... miss a single step and the entire problem is f**ked, so take your time, take notes, take some more time, and pass your algebra course!

Good Luck!

PEMDAS! 

Guess who's taking College Algebra right now at Sophia and PEMDAS is repeated over and over and over. I'm probably saying it in my sleep. LOL

Thank y’all! 

I was solving the math problems without much issue, but some of the textbook material was just melting my brain. 

My advisor got back to me and let me know that Business Statistics will transfer for an Intro to Statistics class, and that I didn’t have to take college algebra since it’s a transfer credit. If I had tried to take the statistics class with my school, they would require I take algebra first, but will accept it as a transfer credit. So that knocks out my math requirement. Business statistics is much easier and I expect to finish it in a day or two.
