My daughter has completed Algebra 2 in high school and did alright, but it was a fairly light curriculum and she does struggle with it so we were leaning toward credit for Lib arts math and/or Stats. Stats is recommended for her major, but not required. Or are they both very difficult and trying to test out is the wrong way to go???
College Math will require she brush up on what she already studied and maybe learn a couple new things. Stats would be starting from scratch. My vote is College Math.
She is at the right level academically (Algebra 2) now just get her to complete the Modern States College Algebra free course so she can get her voucher. That will also help her brush up on skills and learn a few new ones. If she feels completely overwhelmed in the MS course, you can hit up Khan Academy for supplementary content. https://modernstates.org/course/college-mathematics/
Like your daughter, I only needed a 100 level math for my degree, but had a hard time remembering everything for a single test. I opted to take a math class - which was more work of course, but the weight didn't land on my shoulders for ONE exam. So, I would certainly try for the CLEP first, but if she doesn't hit her score, she can do a class and will likely be fine.
