Question: can I use the beginning algebra for the "One college-level mathematics course" requirement for the english degree?

Also, what is the level of difficulty of beginning algebra, intermediate algebra and college algebra compared to the CLEP college mathematics?

This sounds like a great deal! I actually did calculus back in high school, but it's been so long. I am hoping it will come back to me as I go along and hopefully it won't take too long.

Calculus, you will blow through them. You will need to confer with your academic advisor on the exact placement of these courses in your degree program. Beginning algebra compares to CLEP General Math 102 and for most would be a remedial course. (TESC accepts it as a gen ed.) Intermediate is MAT-115 at TESC and does meet the degree requirement for Liberal Studies.

With your background I would blow through beginning and intermediate to refresh, and then hit the college algebra and/or precalculus. The first two you should have knocked out within hours. Intermediate builds on beginning. College Algebra is where the action begins. If you don’t get through college algebra on the first assessment they start giving you more advanced stuff (more in tune with precalc). But as you already have the necessary foundation you should be fine.

Go for it, you could get a decent amount of college credit for $20 (monthly subscription fee) and the cost of an ace account which includes the first transcript for $40.
