Time to be honest—I hate math, and it hates me right back. I was the guy who had to take Algebra I twice in high school, even though I technically passed the first time with a "D". If I rated the difficulty of the math CLEPs based solely on how I feel about the subject, they’d all be level five exams. Well... College Mathematics might sneak in at a four. Maybe. That being said, the College Algebra CLEP wasn’t nearly as bad as I imagined it would be. If you’ve got a decent grasp of algebra—even if it’s been a couple of decades—you’ll probably be just fine with a bit of review. The good news is that there are numerous free websites offering math lessons. I've provided some quick refresher lessons below, along with practice questions. Another option to consider if you're feeling rusty or want to build a little confidence before diving into algebra is to take the College Mathematics CLEP first. For starters, it’s worth six credits. Most schools won’t count it toward your core math requirement, but they’ll usually apply it toward your electives. More importantly, it’s a great way to dip your toes back into math if it’s been a while since you last saw an equation.
