I'm considering my options for College Algebra & Statistics. Previously, I'd considered ALEKS, but it sounds like a number of students ended up investing hundreds of hours before passing. Yes, the price is right, but time might be a little more valuable to me. I considered studying on my own and taking exams, but the specific feedback on DSST math exams is making me shy away.
Now, after a year and a half break from my studies, I return to all this talk about Straighterline (which I didn't know about before). While it is more expensive than ALEKS, it sounds intriguing.
Can those of you who has used them for math advise me on how reasonable it is that I could complete a course within a month? I have been away from math for a long time, but I am motivated, logical minded, and have unbroken hours of study time available to me.
Thanks so much for your input!
