        Easy. Like 4 levels below the advanced statistics courses I breezed through for an easy A without attending lecture..

        Then again, I'm a genius with an IQ and standardized testing scores in the 99th percentile so my feed back probably doesn't mean much.

        Yup.

          It isn't bad. From what I remember from like seven years ago, it was factor and foil, quadratic equations and some other basic stuff. You won't get into any calc or anything. The math I did in finance classes was harder.

              It's been lots of years but I don't remember it being too tough. Good luck.

                      It will take some time for sure but its not hard. I had a 65 year old granny in my calc class and she aced with an A lol

                        college algebra is usually just as easy if not easier than high school algebra

                          Not hard at all. Just memorize the formulas and their uses and you are all set.

                            i'd say a 3.5/10 on the math difficulty level.

                              What would you define as 10?

                                  The math class that gave me the most trouble was differential equations, so I would rate that a 10.

                                  As far as college algebra, it's basically about being able to pretty basic stuff like quadratic equations, polynomials, whole number/integers, etc...You should be able to do fine just going to class without much prior knowledge...Get a good T.I. graphing calculator tho.

                                    there are many different type of math classes that can be rated 10's.
                                    i'd say it goes algebra 3's calcs 6;s and the classes mentioned 9's or 10's.
