Question: Terrible at math, have to take college statistics classes? I'm considering going back to college for another degree, one that would require me to take at least two statistics classes. The problem is that I'm really bad at math, I had hardly any math education in high school and took foreign language instead of math classes for my other degree. I barely learned algebra and will have to review it. For anyone who has taken statistics in college, do you think that I can teach myself enough and get enough tutoring to do well in these classes?

Answer: I got 'B' s and 'C's mostly in high school and have actually found college to be easier.  I actually found more material to 'click' than in high school.  I'm not good in math either.  But when I took stats my professor let use TI calculators and showed us the shortcuts to get the answers.  Its not that bad...\n\nLook into if your school accpets CLEP exam credits.  If they do there might be a CLEP exam you take to avoid the class.  A CLEP exam is a nationwide multiple choice exam offered to college students to in about 30 different areas/test and if your score a 50 or better you get credit for the class at your respective school.  I did it with 3 classes at my school.
