Completing Topics in ALEKS

Complete topics in one of two ways: Correctly answer a question on the initial

assessment. Working on topics from the ALEKS pie and

then passing them on the assessments.

Completing Topics in Aleks

Tests The ALEKS program will generate the tests:

• after so many hours of work • after you have completed a certain number of topics.

If you answer the problem correctly it will remain in your pie.

If you answer incorrectly, you will need to practice more problems and then it will come up on future tests.

Tests(cont..)

The test will contain questions that you may not have seen before. For those questions you can either click “I have not learned this” or try to answer the problem. If you get it correct you will not need to practice the topic in the pie.
