I haven't read all the replies but as a late bloomer myself I know how intimidating math can be. I know I can teach math but I make sure it doesn't go above beginning algebra. Statistics was a killer for me I had already earned my degree but I needed Stats to have my 15 math credits to qualify to teach math. The job I wanted was to teach both Math and science. It ended up taking me over 100 hours on ALEKS, I took many assessments and got to 68% once or twice I finally had every practice question printed out and put together by kind of question (it was as big as a textbook) when I took the assessment I took my time and looked over the practice questions to make sure it was asking the same things and figuring out step by step. I think I finally passed with a 71%. I know you can do it just take your time and if ALEKS is just to daunting try a class but DO NOT GIVE UP!!! You have worked too long and hard to give up. TESC does give you easy time add ons I think I did it a month at a time. If you need more the months you have paid will go towards that. Do not decide about that until May 30. You can call that day and extend for one month with a credit card.
I know how much this forum did for me when I hit those hard spots, that is why I still come back to see how others are doing. We are a very understanding community and since we don't have other "classmates" I think of this group as my friends and classmates.
We are behind you 100% and feel free to come and Whine anytime, we have all been there.
