Force ALEKS Initial Assessment - ISKBizz15 - 07-17-2018
I took my first Initial Knowledge Assessment last week and scored a 56% for College Algebra. Now after working through some of the pie chart, I feel like I'm ready enough to take another assessment to try and score a 70% or higher for ACE credit. The only options I see within the Masters Account is to "Request New Knowledge Check", is this the assessment that I should be taking or should there be another option to look for? How would I force another Initial Knowledge Assessment?

there is no longer an initial knowledge check....now you must complete the New Knowledge Check. Same Thing..good luck

So if I complete at least 70% of the pie chart, would I be considered finished in terms of qualifying for credit or would I still need to do the knowledge check regardless of what percentage of the chart I've completed?
RE: Force ALEKS Initial Assessment - Jimmy999 - 07-17-2018
yes a knowledge check is required confirm atleast 70% mastery

I'm working through ALEKS and with each new knowledge check my score only goes up a small amount.
I started with 32%, worked through about 20 topics, then it went to 43%. Should I be working through a lot more to get closer?

No, it's not what you get on the pie chart, it's only what you get on a knowledge check that counts. So you'd probably have to work through more than 70% of the pie to score at least 70% on a knowledge check.

Looking to figure this one out. I keep seeing people mentioning "force an assessment" but I cant find a place to do so. I just took a knowledge check and all it did was ask me questions on the things I had already finished. So I went to mastery on all the topics they had already given me but with no opportunity to improve my score on anything else.
RE: Force ALEKS Initial Assessment - Jimmy999 - 07-24-2018
If you completed the knowledge check with. 70% or better apply for credit u are done
RE: Force ALEKS Initial Assessment - ISKBizz15 - 07-24-2018
How would I know what my score is on the knowledge check? With every knowledge check I've taken, I always wonder how I did on the test, but only receive a 1-2 percentage change in the pie chart and not an actual percentage for a grade.
