Statistics is Slippery
While the computation component of a Statistics course is not very difficult, actually understanding how to complete a paragraph-long word problem is where the trouble usually arises.
Moreso than other math courses, statistics is "slippery" in the sense that it can be difficult to truly master the materials. I've heard many students complain, "I'm getting a decent grade in Statistics, but I really don't fully comprehend what I'm doing or why I'm doing it."
If this sounds familiar then you probably need a tutor to help "clear the waters."
College Credit (help included)
Colleges charge upward of $1,000 per credit hour. That means you could pay around $3,000 for a Statistics course, and there isn't a refund if you cannot pass.
Taking AP* Statistics costs nothing; the cost normally used for college tuition for this course can be applied to tutoring. Student end up receiving a higher grade and leave for college with greater confidence in their math skills.
AP* Statistics is taught at a slower pace than a college statistics course, too. Rather than having to complete the course in a semester, students taking AP* Statistics spend the entire year covering the same concepts.
