EPGY Precalc uses Lial's book. About half the course is algebra and half trig. Precalc was my son's least favorite EPGY course because of all the algebra review. (He likes algebra but isn't fond of review.) If you have already had two *solid* courses in algebra and a course in trig, EPGY's precalc probably won't help you next year. However, if you haven't had those courses, you may want to sign up.
Be forewarned, EPGY projects their precalc class will take 20 weeks. Although you could finish a bit early, you'll be hoofing it if you plan to complete the course this summer. Also, unless you are currently enrolled in their math sequence, EPGY math courses start on the first of the month, so you can start either May 1 or June 1. A June 1 start would mean you'd have to do nearly two weeks of work every week. That's possible, but you'll be busy.
BTW, precalc requires students to keep taking tests, except the final, until they pass. As in all EPGY courses, the final test has, by far, the greatest weight in your final grade.
