TALK TO YOUR ADVISOR IN UNIVERSITY ADVISING SERVICES ABOUT WHICH MATH COURSE TO TAKE.
How long do I have access to my Prep and Learning Module?
You will have six months of access to your Prep and Learning Module. Access to the prep course will not begin until you select start on the top of your screen. DO NOT go into the Prep and Learning Module until you are ready to start working.
Is there an additional fee for my Prep and Learning Module?
Access to a Prep and Learning Module is included in the $25 initial charge, along with the additional Placement Assessments.
Must I work in my ALEKS Prep and Learning Module between Placement Assessments?
You can retake the Placement assessment up to four additional times to improve your score. (The highest score will be used for math placement.) FAU strongly recommends a minimum of ten hours in the Prep and Learning Module before the next Assessment attempt.
What are ALEKS Knowledge Checks?
While working in a Prep and Learning Module, you will periodically complete a Knowledge Check to make sure you have mastered the topics you gained in Learning Mode. If you do not show mastery during the Knowledge Check, the topics will be added back into your Learning Pie so you can review them again.
Does progress in an ALEKS Prep and Learning Module count toward placement?
No. You must complete a new Placement Assessment to change your placement result. Select the placement tab in the upper right corner of the ALEKS page to start a new Placement Assessment.
