What College Math Exams does EC Accept?

[marianne202]

What college level math exams does EC accept? What courses will they accept? I'm wondering if they will accept something easier than the ALEKS stats I'm taking for my other degree. I just need something quick and easy to get done with my BSLS. Thanks for any suggestions.

I think EC requires a quantitative reasoning requirement which I believe can be filled by the Aleks statistics course you are taking for your other degree. ( see their LA catalog pages 16 & 17)

I felt the same way when I tried Aleks. It's an excellent learning tool, but it was way too slow for my purposes. EC accepts the DSST Principles of Statistics exam, which I passed after reviewing the IC flashcards (which are excellent for this!) and an introductory statistics book for about two weeks. Two halfhearted weeks. If I had give a rough estimate, I'd say the 50% point in the Aleks program will be a rough equivalent to squeaking out a pass on the DSST instead, but you won't know it cold like you would have if you had continued with Aleks. I hear there are also some very helpful videos at Resource: Against All Odds: Inside Statistics

Good luck!
