I could be wrong, of course, but reading about Lynda's experience this week was very informative. Was it you who mentioned that Excelsior College accepts the Dantes as well???? I hope this is the case!!! Thanks! Camillumi

Camillumi,
Just to be clear....
If you are doing a Business degree at Excelsior, you MUST pass the CLEP version of Algebra ("College Algebra").
But if you are doing a Liberal Arts degree, Excelsior will accept the DANTES Algebra ("Fundamentals of College Algebra").
DANTES Principles of Statistics will also fulfill the quantitative requirement for any Liberal Arts degree (ie, non-business). This is the path I would HIGHLY recommend for anyone who struggles with Algebra....providing you aren't going for a Business degree.
If you are in any doubt as to which exam you are required to take, you should contact Excelsior. That way you won't waste any time or money doing an exam that you later find out won't meet your requirements.
Hope that helps,
