I am try to prepare for a college algebra class which I will be taking at the start of the 2018 January quarter. I've not taken a math class in nearly 50 years. I did pass geometry and high algebra though with an average grade of C. I started on Khan about a month ago with the intention of going through every grade of math through college algebra. I have made it to 5th grade so far with steady progress.

I am wondering if I should stay with this plan, or just do the lessons on algebraic thinking for each grade. I did start with the pre algebra and discovered some leaning gaps on top of the 50 year absence. I would appreciate any ideas, recommendations, or experiences anyone can share. Thank you very much. Ray

I think it really depends on how quick you are going through it. You are going through it just under a grade a week. there are 8 grades then there is algebra 1 & 2, geometry, pre cal, and trig the last 4 will take a lot longer then grades 1-8 (I think) so I would factor at least 3 weeks on each "grade". So about 4.5 months and this being mid November you don't have enough time. so I would do algebra 1&2 as far as I could go. I hope this helps

Hi Dirk,

I just reviewed your suggestion and it does make sense. What I will do prior to Algebra 1 is focus on the pre-algebra module. It looks like I have about half of that done already. Thanks so much for your insight and suggestion. Ray
