ALEKS not giving me credit for correct answers??

[Can219]

I have been on Aleks for a week now about 5 hours day. I have had no problems...I'm doing beginning Algebra and just today it has happened on about 6 problems that I had the correct answer but it says I'm wrong and it shows the same answer I put in....has anyone else had this problem?? It's delaying my finish time!

I did intermediate algebra and college algebra on their site and had no problems.

You might want to contact them if you have software problems, note also that beginning algebra is not worth college level credit at TESC. If you feel comfortable with the math then you want to simply move up to intermediate algebra.

I did Intermediate Algebra and I'm doing College Algebra now. I had a couple of times that I could have sworn that I had put in the correct answer, but they marked it wrong. In each case I had the correct answer on the paper where I worked it out, but when I typed it in I didn't write exactly what I had on my paper. It is frustrating, but beyond my own attention to detail, I haven't had any problems.

My experience with ALEKS (a year ago) was that you had to put down the answer exactly the way they showed it, or it was marked wrong. You and I might know that you have the correct answer, but if it isn't show the way the system expects it to be written, it doesn't matter.

LaterBloomer is right, ALEKS is so picky. If they want you to write 0.20 you can't write .2
