Cheapest RA Place to Take College Algebra?

I got some more information on Straighterline.com

You can pay $99 per month and complete the course in one month. To do that, you have to pay and then cancel on the same day. So, if I want to finish College Algebra in one month, I have to pay and cancel on the same day. That will buy me one month of time to complete the course. If I do not complete the course in one month, I lose all of my work and have to start over.

College Algebra requires 5 non-proctored, online tests. They are not timed and you can only take each test once. Fort Hays charges an extra $30 as an application fee.

 

So, that's $129 for the whole deal? That's not bad!!!

 

I agree, but you are under the gun according to Sowak - must get done in a month.

If Sowak can get the program done in a month, go for it...but with a math course, that might be tough IMHO.

I am already strong in the subject. I would CLEP, but my brick and mortar school will not accept CLEP in math. The grade is based on 5 online tests. No time limit on the tests and no proctor. One attempt per test. It is doable. I may not get to watch much football for a few weeks, but it is doable, for sure.

 

Then my sincere best of luck to you!

Thank you, sir. And thank you everyone for all of the input and help. This board is HIGHLY knowledgeable and helpful.

 

Doesn't look like a 1 month time-frame; only if you want to pay $99, THEN you need to do it in 1 month... if you want to take 2 or 3 months, it's still a bargain and much more do-able...

Price also includes 10 1-1 instructional support sessions.

I'll be enrolling in this next spring as I still college algebra for my degree and I'd rather spend $198 or even $297 and still be ahead!

 

Sowak is looking for the best deal - and for the best deal he has to complete the Staighterline course in a month. If he has to enroll for 2 months then Clovis is the best deal.

Both Clovis and Straigherline are great deals - but Sowak is looking to spend the least amount of money.

Shawn

 

Shawn is exactly correct. If my school will accept the credits, I am going with the one month plan for $129. If necessary, I will go with Clovis for $172.
