Correct that is all you need to do.

If after a a week or two your ACE submission still says pending, then you will need to make some calls and find out whats the hold up.

Oh yeah! That made my day!!!

Can I just add in a quick progress report to say how cool ALEKS is as an actual class!?! As the parent, I have a master account and my son has the student account. I get to see all kinds of progress charts, breakdowns, estimated time till completion, etc. It's just going sooooo well. I have to give it two thumbs WAY up at this point. If I needed credit in any of their classes, I wouldn't hesitate to use the program, and I intend on enrolling him in the next class as soon as he finishes this one. The tutorial is good, the examples are good, if you don't understand they have even more tutorials, it's just very well thought out.

Even in the college level classes, they have "games" that are totally optional (called Quick Tables), but very fun for video-game loving kids. You must achieve levels of competency to "unlock" video games. When my son discovered this he was so excited. They don't tell you until you hit a certain percent, so I didn't even know about them. The games are a little dorky, but the challenge of unlocking them has been a big motivator for my son. Oh yeah, it's very cool.

For anyone who might be a homeschool mom looking for an idea of level, they don't use placement exams, you have to just pick a class. I would say that the Beginning Algebra (3 credits) is perfect for the child who finished Saxon 87 and/or Algebra 1/2. I would even say that someone in or past Algebra 1 could could start with this class, and probably finish in less than a month with 3 easy math credits!
