Congratulations zefrench! You did it again! I certainly agree with you, ALEKS is not for the faint of heart, definitely not an 'instant' cert.
I don't think ali4nia understands how ALEKS works, this isn't some simple open book exam, it's more like a continuous 'test and learn' process which is far more comprehensive than any CLEP/DSST prep. Completing all the learning objectives and passing a final assessment (after a myriad of others) is the equivalent of scoring an 80 on a CLEP/DSST, i.e. you really end up knowing your stuff, all of it, not just passing. I would suggest you go for the free trial to see what I'm talking about.
The only loophole with ALEKS is that the final assessment is not proctored. Then again, so is the case with many online courses, it will boil down to your integrity and academic honesty.
