College Math requirement

Many have been successful with Aleks which is what I plan to use once I'm done with fcca

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?

I am doing beginning Algebra.

I'm not good at math and I clepped college math. if I did it anyone can. Believe me I never paid attention in high school and I had to study very hard, it felt so good when earned those 6 credits You can do it, is basic math and a little bit of everything. Look into it. Good luck!

what is ALEKS? i have never heard of this for a math requirement. could you tell me more please>?

Thanks CarolinaSantana. I did look into clepping math, but since I will be away for a couple of weeks overseas, I was looking for an online option.

Anyway, I did call Excelsior, and they said only a handful of math courses were approved through ALEKS, one of them being Beginning Algebra. So I signed up for it. I did pretty ok on the initial assessment-it was the quadratic equations that took some time to understand .

But for $19.95,its a sweet deal. And believe it or not, the learning progress pie chart actually motivates you to keep on going as you watch the colors change in it as you complete the modules.

NIbbles1, how did someone finish this in 3 days?!!! It must have taken a lot of coffee and dedication to get it done that quick! I'm looking at wrapping this up in a couple of weeks tops.

Also at the tail end of the FCCA , so end of July is going to be stressful! Oh well, one day at a time!
