Quantitative Literacy - Easiest Course?

[Merlin]

Yes, you can only do one initial knowledge check during any ALEKS course, but you can perform as many knowledge checks as you like. If you score 70% or better on any of them, that is all you need to pass the course. The more material you work through before the automatic knowledge check pops up, the bigger amount will be cleared and the higher chance of getting 70+ or better.

As an alternative, I'm not sure if ALEKS still does it, but it used to give you a new initial knowledge check when you switch courses. Of course, that was back when you could only have one active course at a time and all knowledge was lost when you switched. Now that ALEKS remembers your progress, I don't know if it still works that way. You could switch to another course and back again to see. If it doesn't work, you will end up where you left off; if it does, you'll start fresh with a new initial knowledge check.

Technically there are two ways to guarantee another initial knowledge check...

1. Cancel the current student account and add a new student account. It will have a clean slate. It will cost another $20 though.
   
2. Cancel the current student account and wait until two weeks after the course has terminated (it purges your data after like 10-14 days) and then restart. You should have a clean slate at that point. There isn't really much difference between #2 and #1 other than time. Still ends up costing $20 more.
