    Should I take my algebra classes over?

    mindofmidwifery replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Either way I think you're fine. At my CC, you just need to pass college pre algebra to take stats and stats isn't even considered a math course. As long as you follow everything, study, and use...

    Should I take my algebra classes over?

    mindofmidwifery replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When did you last take college algebra? In my opinion if you got through intermediate college algebra, you can get through stats. I took intermediate algebra and stats at the same time and struggled...
