There are no prereqs on ALEKS, just make sure you don't take overlapping courses. Below is some advice that was given by another user on this site about TESC's specific acceptance. Basically take Intermediate as the lowest accepted (Elementary is not accepted by TESC), and then don't overlap. Like I said this was submitted by another user and I don't guarantee that it is accurate (check with an adviser). I did ALEKS Intermediate Algebra and ALEKS Algebra and they were both taken separately. Follow the plan and you might just end up with as many as 21 credits of math. Remember, if you take more than the required math for your degree it will roll down to the general ed electives or free electives depending on what you have open. Fema is another great tool for credits, just make sure you only take the courses accepted by TESC (they have a lot of them on the site that say they are worth college credit but TESC only takes a specific list). Search this site for a list or ask an adviser for an updated list of FEMA courses (at TESC they are all free electives unless used in the AAS Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies degree, or for part of the BS in Homeland Security).
