Is there anyone in here that legitimately thinks the Intermediate Algebra in ALEKS was insanely easy and finished it in a day or so?
If so, please send me a private message. I have a few questions and I'm shipping off VERY soon so I need to get this done like yesterday.

So basically you wanna cheat? You want someone else do to the work for you, and get credits. Seriously, it's actions like these that make schools question the value of online testing. Pathetic.

Just subscribe to Mathway and it'll teach you how to solve the problems faster than ALEKS.

The Mathway helps! Woulda been nice to know that existed. lol Just curious what system each person used to get through this the optimal way, any tips, unique methods to minimize the number of assessments for us Math challenged individuals.
I've been printing out the explanations, but those are REALLY stacking up now. Taking a ton of notes and stuff. 56% done. Any other creative solutions I can adopt?

You only have 14% to go, just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there soon enough.
Set yourself goals, not limitations

from 54% to 65% in an hour using Mathway to tech me some stuff. Gonna try again in a little while after I do a bit more review. :hurray:

I would recommend leaving ALEKs for a bit and reading an algebra for dummies book. Then come back and hit ALEKs and it will make more sense and provide a great way to practice this stuff.

I always enjoy the game people play by saying Mathway helps. It's a calculator. It's doing the problems for you. Let's not make it sound so wonderful, it is what it is. Can't we just all be honest and say "hey, use mathway, you'll be done with the class in 24 hours without learnng how to do jack squat"
