hope this helps.
The DSST exam usually won't satisfy College Algebra requirements (in fact, I'd love to see a college that would take it*).
The CLEP exam is so difficult that you have to practically master the material just to pass. Maybe 250 hours is insane, but you probably won't pass the CLEP unless you can finish at least 55-60% of the ALEKS pie.
One of the few other options for math-challenged folks cramped for study time is to take the Brigham Young online class, and that requires a few exams plus $400+ dollars. Even at 250 hours, ALEKS may be the best route for some. . .
*EDIT: American Sentinel University accepts the DSST exam as College Algebra, but American Sentinel is only a DETC-accredited institution.
