Thank you all for replying!
I decided not to take the math placement test just yet, especially because I won't even be able to start studying in the advanced Spring term because I had to register by Feb 10 (just found this out).. on the bright side, I am able to study some more and start studying in the Summer term.
I am going to brush up on my math and at least try to learn the basics on my own for now.
I took remedial math in my previous college but it wasn't much help because for some reason all the students knew what the teacher was explaining and I was too afraid of letting the teacher know that I still didn't understand (I don't even know why those students were in remedial math.. I guess they needed a reminder) Me on the other hand, I still need to be taught it. Perhaps, based on the score I will end up in a remedial class either way..just hope it's a good class if I do end up taking remedial math.

Since I have more time to study, I'll just take the test perhaps by the end of April before the Summer term and just study from here on .. I will look into a tutor as well soon but I know it's hard because I am afraid of admitting it to others and I don't know if I will be able to find someone who has the patience to deal with a 23 year old that is still studying their times table. Math just doesn't click in my head, but that is all a matter of practice
