Credit for ALEKS Corp (McGraw Hill) Online courses in College Algebra & Statistics

In order to get credit you need to assess at 70%.
You cant pass say in example with a 45% then do the pie to get up to 70%.
Atleast that is the way the guy told me. So what i did was i kept taking the assessments over and over and over till i would get the idea and format down. Then take the tests again till i passed. If you dont clearly know an area then the pies are useful. Otherwise the pie is a long haul. Again you might be able to pass with a 70% with the pie included into the score. But again i didnt go that route because it takes forever. Someone here told me that they were on their 250th hour. Thats an insane amount of time to put in when looking for credits. For that much studying you could take the clep or dsst exam.
hope this helps.

Hello,

Can someone please explain how the assessments work?

As I am adding to the pie does ALEKS just add the yellow to the existing blue section or do I need to take the full assessment again?

This is the part that is confusing. Are you tested back to the initial assessment (even if you've already mastered sections) or only the stuff learned since that point and the remaining questions either wrong or not answered?

If it keeps resetting back to the beginning what a pain in the neck that would be.

Trying to get a feel for this before requesting an assessment.

Thanks in advance!
