The pass rates look nearly the same for the dantes and clep exams. It took some really committed studying, but it is not unrealistic. If it is easier to "teach yourself" statistics instead of algebra, maybe that's the way to go if they both count for what you need. The statistics exam is on my list; is it easy enough to do with instantcert? I was planning on using the idiot's guide and IC for it.

Upgray,

Instantcert will provide you with all the concepts you will need. But you may also need to do some additional study in order to really grasp any concepts you are still unsure about.

Here are a few links (I didn't use all of these....just pick and choose as needed to solidify the concepts in your mind).
