This is why I have always recommended precalc after college algebra. Aleks precalc is heavy on concepts learned in algebra, meaning initial assessment is not too hard to power through...even if you need to reset and take it a few times. A little trick of the trade, sometimes the assessments start getting harder - presented with only new, more difficult material - if this should happen, call customer service and ask to speak to tech support. Tell them you are having problems with the software, freezing, questions not building properly...they will do a hard reset and the next assessment will be set at baseline again. If you need the math, by all means take the time to work through the pie to master all concepts; but if you are just padding the GE section of your transcript with cheap credit, tick a box and move on.
