TESC Order of Math ALEKS/CLEPS

[cookderosa]

Yes Jennifer wondering about "going back". My DD has completed ALEKS Int Alg and College Alg and looking at starting ALEKS Pre-Calc. Honestly she was scared of the College Math CLEP, basically the time limit. Now we are wondering is she should bite the bullet and take the College Math CLEP for the credits-if possible.

THANKS!

That's what I figured. Well, seriously, don't worry about it. College math comes in under algebra anyway, so it's moot. If she lands at a school that requires sequence, they simply won't count it. However, many colleges don't count ALEKS, and in that case she'd get to keep her CLEP and her ALEKS would be out. BUT, she doesn't HAVE TO take the CLEP exam. She can keep working ALEKS and finish out with stats.

Not that this is the case with your DD, but with my DS, I'm really pushing him to pass the exam since I believe he relies too heavily on his notes and not enough is stored in the brain In fact he did NOT pass that exam first attempt, so he's finished with all the ALEKS maths (not stats yet) and I'm going to have him go back and do it. There is a tiny bit of stats/probability on college math, so as long as you're not worrying about the order, might as well do it at the end.
