I recently took the ALEKS math placement test to determine what my first college math course will be, and I received a score of 69. My college requires a score of 46+ to take College Algebra, and a score of 61+ to take Calculus. Although my score qualifies me to take Calc, I feel far more comfortable starting with College Algebra.
I got a 34 on my ALEKS math placement test and they told me at orientation unless I plan to go into a math oriented field I would never have to take math again. I’m not sure what components go into deciding that but my only credit towards math would have been the passing score I got on my AP Statistics exam.
@gracewithin The Aleks Placement Test is designed to help you not only place in the correct course for your ability but also to help you place into the class you want to take. Since there is only one test for all levels of math and the topics could be determined by the college, it is hard to say how hard it will be for you to get a 46. However, if you don’t get the score you want/need on ...
I need to score a 46 on the ALEKS Math Placement Exam to get into Math ...
I am wondering which test is a better option, sticking with aleks or using the study guides from aleks and apply it to the clep to test out of college level math (general ed requirment).
