Need help with aleks math - nurselu - 12-07-2015

I have been on ALEKS for about two weeks now learning but the math is not sticking in my head. My three Assessments are 24%, 27%, 28%...very frustrating. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I really need help with this otherwise i will not be graduating without the Beginning Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra credits :confused:

You got to play around with Mathway. You got to enter the question in certain formats. It might take a few times. The other thing you can do is google search the question. Often time a similar question comes up and someone explains how to do it. That and YouTube videos to help get the right answer.

Now that might seem like a long time and it can be, it is not going to be quick, but you just need to get 70 percent correct. You have no time limit take advantage of that. If you are struggling then take your time and keep knocking them out 1 at a time.

Another one is khan academy. But like yb1 said, youtube is a great source. Just type in ALEKS Algebra and you will see bunch of topics. It is NOT that hard, you just have to get hang of it. Don't get discourage!

I'm going through Intro to Statistics right now, which I have no idea what I'm doing in, and what's really helped me is Googling the questions in the practice module. You'll find a half a dozen webpages and a handful of YouTube videos that explain each type of problem. I click through each one to find which one makes sense. They're all explaining the same things, but in different words, so one of them is bound to click.
