Hi guys! I'm not the best at algebra, mostly because I stopped at geometry in high school, and stuck with mainly business math and finance classes in college (the first time around). I know that I'm capable, but I'm super rusty and I think there are many subjects in College Algebra that I've never learned.
I really want to pass this CLEP. I'm going to back to nursing school and it's a required class. It'll save me money and time to CLEP out of it (not prep time since I do need to learn the subject, but time that I won't have to wait to schedule it through a school). I have passed a few CLEPs before, including HG&D, English Comp w/essay, psych, and sociology. I'm taking A&I in the next couple of weeks.
The clincher is, I need a 60 to pass for my school to take the College Algebra CLEP (any CLEPs, really).
I've been buzzing around between different ways to prep and I need to pick a main study format. I plan on going through the Modern States class, but I'm not sure, given my starting point, if that will be enough. I'm thinking about first going through either Saylor's class, or through the Math 101: College Algebra course through Study.com first.
Which would you recommend? Has anyone studied for this test using mainly either of these sources? The free vs. cost part of the equation is irrelevant in my case as I already have a Study.com subscription to help me prep for some other classes.
Thanks so much for any help!
