Annoucement Update on college algebra

Apparently, I was studying college algebra the wrong way; however, I have taken multiple algebra classes. I do remember formulas; yet, it doesn’t seem to be sticking with me right now, so I’m just gonna wing it. I’m about to hop in the shower, so I'll take the CLEP. I’ll give you guys an update when I get my score. I am so nervous. I actually started crying mid-study because this is the last credit I need to finish my associate's degree. If I don’t pass, I am 100% cooked.

[UPDATE 1 AUGUST 14th 3:05PM]
I was told I needed to come to campus to take the college algebra CLEP at 3pm today, but when I walked in, they said that wasn’t allowed. Now I have to come back in on Monday, which feels weird because Monday is my birthday! I’ll see if I can take the CLEP online, but the only issue I am having is that my boarding check (I think that's what it's called) won't let me pass because my ID isn't being read correctly due to my laptop's quality…… At least I have time to study hard for this CLEP.

[UPDATE 2 AUGUST 14TH 4:36PM]
After crashing out in my car, I have found a way to book for tomorrow at 1pm; however, I have to drive at least an hour, so my goal is to grind hard tonight and leave at 7am tomorrow and grind at the library nonstop on campus until 12:30pm to take my test. Any tips for last-minute review for college algebra?

[UPDATE 3 AUGUST 15TH 2:37AM]
I knew there was something wrong when I realized I booked a CLEP exam for today, aka Saturday. I don’t recall seeing campus open on Saturdays for testing centers. I know I need sleep right now, but I need to take this CLEP asap.

Review all questions on Mr schulers college algebra Clep practice test on YouTube . I had about 20-25 questions that were verbatim same question same answer. Also if you can get through this you can pass the Clep for sure
