Working through Study.Com courses?
#10

So I completed my first study.com MATH course (besides the required personal finance course).   I scored a 68, and then a 84, 82 on the 3 practice tests I took (granted they were only 50 questions out of the 70 questions).  

I took my proctored final exam last night (which the ID is still showing up blurry??) and by God's GRACE I passed with a 57% (literally one question I believe).  

BUT, in college when I was younger I was always a A/B+ student.  Getting a 57% on my final exam is not an accomplishment to me and shows me that I didn't really learn the material (which I WANT to learn the material - I don't want to just pass the course since that defeats the purpose which is disheartening).

My question to the knowledgeable people out there (as you all are), how do you go about SUCCESSFULLY passing and LEARNING the material in a math course - whether its on study.com/sophia/etc???   I watched EVERY video (all 110 of them!).  I took every quiz (obviously you have to and they give you the right answers so if you don't get a 100 on every quiz thats on you) but still did not really learn the material.

Any help, suggestions, comments, insights, wisdom on this?  I don't want to just BARELY pass (or fail!) the courses for math - I need to actually learn them.

Thank you all in advance!  you have been a TREMENDOUS help to me.
What rachel83az is the best advice on the matter - Khan Academy.

Thankfully, I'm good at math and simply going to do the GRE after a few weeks review to squeeze the 24 credits out of it.

However, if you want to learn Math with understanding, there is no shortcut.  I can vouch for the quality of the instructional videos available at Khan Academy. They are very thorough and they take you step by step (almost too much detail, if you ask me).

davewill's point is also very true.  Math takes a lot of work.  Practice makes perfect and cements the concepts in your mind.
