Ok, so I finish my last two classes at EC in two weeks and now the only thing standing in the way of my BSHS conferral is stats. I have put it off to the end out of fear, but not I'm at the point of no return. I'm registered with ALEKS but only hit 54% on my first eval. When I work on my pie I seem to check off one area and lose ground in another. So I'm wondering about trying to tackle the DSST stats exam. Is it doable for a non-math minded person? I haven't taken a math class since 1980! OMG, that was a long time ago! I'm thinking I will try the DSST then if I don't pass tackle ALEKS or I could just get a really good book and keep trying the ALEKS assessments with the book to help me solve the problems. I bought a TI BAII plus calculator, but I'm lost using it. If anyone has any suggestions please, please send them my way. I have the Khan academy videos bookmarked, but have only watched one so far. My plan is to throw myself into stats starting next week and immerse myself into it. I would like to have this completed by the end of August one way or another. Any suggestions on other study sources, good books etc? I think part of my problem is I have created a mental block for myself, so I'm hoping by totally focusing on just stats I will learn to love it and figure it out, or I will hate it even more and tear my hair out! Although that would cut down on the salon bills! Any help is greatly appreciated!
If it makes you feel better, I assessed similarly in ALEKS Business Statistics. Two days later I assessed at 70%.
