Was fortunate to pass the Beginning Algebra initial assessment. Took a break after Trigonometry that ended up being a bit longer. Took a few assessments to get through the College Algebra with Trigonometry 70% level. Doing the tutorials for the first time was useful to learn how ALEKS assessments prefers answers to be presented, e.g. rounding up numbers or presenting surds.
Stats was something completely new to me. My Intro to Stats course initial assessment was 24%, started the day after the last maths course. Had to knuckle down and just work through the pie after work. Total time for all nine courses (most of which was spent on assessments and learning Stats) was 94.7 hours when I called up ALEKS today to close my account and thanked them for such an excellent service and opportunity.
I highly recommend ALEKS.
