https openstax org details books biology 2e what do i do after i complete my placement tests once you complete your placement assessments academic advising can help you explore our programs and register for classes aleks ppl assessment frequently asked questions what is the aleks ppl math assessment aleks ppl assessment and learning in knowledge spaces is an ai powered adaptive assessment tool used by universities to evaluate your math skills and accurately place you in the right college level math or statistics course the program is broken down into three core stages the placement assessment you will be given around 20 to 30 open response questions the system adapts to your answers adjusting the next question based on your previous responses to precisely map your knowledge personalized prep once finished you receive a score from 0 100 which represents the percentage of topics you ve mastered the system then generates a customized prep and learning module highlighting your exact knowledge gaps reassessment after spending time in the prep module most universities allow you to take the assessment again up to 2 times to improve your score and qualify for a higher level course what topics are covered in the aleks ppl assessment the placement assessment covers only pre calculus topics specifically whole numbers fractions and decimals percents proportions and geometry signed numbers linear equations and inequalities lines and systems of linear equations relations and functions integer exponents and factoring quadratic and polynomial functions rational expressions and functions radicals and rational exponents exponentials and logarithms trigonometry you can expect the assessment to take up to 90 minutes to complete you should set aside that amount of time to take it in a single setting with no aid no calculator no book or friends or family or internet searches other than a pencil and scratch paper the purpose of the placement assessment is to give an accurate measure of your current mathematical skills so that you will be successful in your mathematics courses if you get outside help to improve your score your only reward will be that you are placed into a math class for which you do not yet have the skills to succeed when you take the assessment try to relax remember it s not a test the only goal is to determine what you know at the end of the aleks placement assessment you will have a much better sense of your strengths and weaknesses in math you will then have a chance to work on those weaknesses there is really no penalty for incorrectly answering a question on the assessment the most important thing is that you take the assessment seriously and give it an honest effort so that the assessment truly reflects your level of knowledge and math preparedness after the assessment a targeted prep and learning module is available for you to review and learn material and to improve placement and eventual course outcomes aleks is a smart assessment that uses artificial intelligence to present you with learning modules targeted toward your mistakes so doing the prep and learning module after you take the assessment will help you sharpen your skills in areas where you may be rusty or have gaps in your knowledge all students are strongly encouraged to spend several hours using the aleks prep and learning module even if you have achieved placement in your desired course time spent in aleks will better prepare you for your upcoming course and ultimately lead to better grades after you complete the assessment you will be presented with a pie chart showing your areas of strength and weakness your overall assessment score appears at the top of the page if you have taken the assessment more than once scores on previous assessments are shown below the pie chart in this case your highest assessment score is used for placement purposes if you forget your assessment score you can log into aleks again to review your scores can i retake the aleks ppl assessment immediately you must wait 24 hours between placement assessments there is generally no benefit to re taking the assessment immediately after completing a prior attempt unlike the sat or act you cannot improve your results by simply re taking the assessment without spending time in the prep and learning module to refresh material that you may have forgotten or to learn new material must i work in my aleks prep and learning module between placement assessments yes after completing the assessment you must spend a minimum of 5 hours in your prep and learning module before repeating the assessment are placement assessments timed no but you should try to complete your placement assessment once it has begun how long will an aleks placement assessment take to be completed placement assessments require approximately 90 minutes to complete but the amount of time will vary depending on the student there will be a maximum of 30 questions may i use a calculator while using aleks aleks will provide an on screen calculator if you need one to solve a particular problem otherwise you may not use a calculator may i use any other resources during a placement assessment you may only use a pen or pencil paper and the on screen calculator provided by aleks you may not receive assistance from friends family other websites textbooks or any other resource not provided by aleks using outside resources may lead to improper placement and ultimately course failure i just completed the aleks assessment but i cannot enroll in my course what
