Penn Foster Tech Math 1-need advice
Everyone who has taken or is taking Penn Foster's Tech Math course, please provide your feedback.
How easy/difficult is the course? How did you do in the exams you have taken so far? Do you recommend it? Also I cannot find anything about this course on their website. I gathered from reading the posts here that it is a 2 credit course and called Penn Foster to find out. I spoke to Mary Beth, but she could not tell me much about whether Excelsior will accept it and for how many credits. After that I called Excelsior and they approved the course and informed me that if I want the course to be letter graded, then it would be worth 2 credits and if i want it to be ACE approved, then it would be worth 3 credits but pass/fail. There is one Business Math and Finance course that they offer which is worth 3 credits but i cannot find that either and I guess the easiest of the three would be Tech Math 1.(the 3rd being Tech Math 2) Also is it possible to pass the course with just the three online exams? I'll be leaving the country for awhile and I might not be able to take the 4th proctored exam while travelling. Please help Shotu, Rbowman, Crystal and others Thanks a lot, Adoncia P.S If i pass College Writing which i took on Tuesday, I will need only one class in Math/ Stats to complete my BS. I purchased some Statistics books and everything and started studying yesterday but am feeling  already and so decided to consider the course  Last edited by adoncia : 02-22-2007 at 10:50 AM.

I opted to take this course as math is my weak spot and I also failed the clep college math exam. Not wanting to wait 6 months or gamble at another more difficult exam I chose the PFC course.
It isn't too bad, however I did ask my kids for a little "tutor" help. It took me around a month to get it all done. I received a "B" and took the 3 credit/pass option from Excelsior as it wouldn't have affected my final GPA. Good Luck!!
