I am going to return to college to finish my degree after being away for almost five years. The university that I will be attending has a policy where they will not accept ACT scores older than two years.

I took a math placement test, and it told me that I should take College Algebra. Which means I didn't do so well on the test. Now, if I do well on the placement test when I retake it, it will fulfill part of the general requirements.

My problem is that even when I was in school, I wasn't very good at story problems. Compound that with not using math in over five years, and I can pretty much tell why I did poorly on the placement test.

Does anyone know of some good resources on the internet that will help be brush up on college-level algebra story problems?

You could check out some practice SAT and ACT questions. That might help familiarize you with them.
