Excelsior: ALEKS Beginning Algebra duplicates ...

[bluebooger]

Excelsior only allows 3 math courses below the level of Calculus  

I already have 
ALEKS Beginning Algebra 
https://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/course...begalgebra

http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseactio...CE=1004997 

I sent Excelsior message asking approval for 
CLEP College Mathematics 
https://clep.collegeboard.org/science-an...athematics

and 

Excelsior UExcel exam Contemporary Mathematics 
Catalog number: MATx100 
https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/contempo...athematics

they said no to both 

both duplicate the ALEKS course 

I am VERY surprised. 

The UExcel exam page even says 
"Knowledge of arithmetic and elementary algebra are prerequisites for the material covered in this examination."

So it makes sense to me that I could do the ALEKS and the UExcel. 
But I guess not. 

Maybe Excelsior got ALEKS Beginning Algebra confused with ALEKS College Algebra ?
I can see how ALEKS College Algebra might dulpicate CLEP College Mathematics.

If I knew all this would duplicate I would have done the CLEP instead. It gives 6 credits while the ALEKS only gives 3.

Oh well ...
