College Math requirement

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

Can anyone give me any input on what is the best route to take for college math?

I'm not bad at math, but at this point when I'm half way through my FCCA and only thinking about the CPNE, I want to get those math credits out of the way as quickly and painlessly as possible!

I will be calling excelsior for suggestions, but wanted to what others have done.

Thanks for reading! :)

I am using ALEKS for my math requirement. And I must say that math is one of my worst subjects and ALEKS is really working for me.

ALEKS beginning algebra is approved by Excelsior. I heard it takes 3 days to complete the assignments. Not a bad way to knock out the math requirement.

I love ALEKS. I used it to bring my math level up when taking the placement tests.

Thanks everyone for leaving a comment! I guess ALEKS is the way to go.

Nibbles1, I'm tempted to take beginning algebra, seeing that you mention it takes only 3 days. I have some time off from work, so I can give it my all.

That's what I've heard from others. If you just spend all day working on the assignments, you can be done in about three days. I haven't done it yet. Good luck and post your results please and thank you.

They told me to do college algebra with ALEKS. Is that what you're doing?
