This is a great way to assure you are going to start in an appropriate math course. Students who elect to take the Assessment should be aware that if they are placed into a lower math level than what they were initially assigned, they will be designated the new math level. For example, if a student has a Math Level of 111 and they use the placement Assessment and are assigned a Math Level of 100, they will have to re-test to place back into Math Level 111.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lwqwfrds-5d7bf3eca316608722e1d50522c75256'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-5' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Can I test out of a course?&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: &lt;strong&gt;Can I test out of a course?&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: &lt;strong&gt;Can I test out of a course?&lt;\/strong&gt;\"><strong>Can I test out of a course?<\/strong><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-5' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Students who are designated a Math Level, say from an SAT or ACT test, which can only go to MTH 111 (College Algebra) but they feel they have skills beyond this level, they may take the Math Placement Assessment in order to place into courses all the way to MTH 251 (Calculus I).

The tutorial shows you how to enter different types of answers, how to use the ALEKS calculator, and how to graph. If you aren\u2019t sure how to input an answer, or need help while you are taking the ALEKS Placement Assessment, select the Help button below the answer pallet tools. Going to the tutorial during your Placement Assessment will NOT impact your Placement Assessment results.<\/p>\n<p>ALEKS is not a multiple-choice Placement Assessment. It is open-response and requires you to work out solutions with a paper and pencil, then enter them into ALEKS. Though the test has a time limit of 2.5 hours, many students finish within less time.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that you will be asked questions on material you have not yet learned. On such questions it is appropriate to answer, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221;. On any question that you have familiarity with, however, it is important to do your best. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; is interpreted by ALEKS to mean that you do not know how to solve the topic, and this will be reflected in the Placement Assessment results. There is no penalty for incorrectly answering a question on the Placement Assessment, it only helps ALEKS understand what you know and don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lwqwfrds-20-f2dc5f7f05250ea905016d9c8bf0b9f7'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-10' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-10' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-10' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;strong&gt;What is on the Math Placement Assessment?&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: &lt;strong&gt;What is on the Math Placement Assessment?&lt;\/strong&gt;\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: &lt;strong&gt;What is on the Math Placement Assessment?&lt;\/strong&gt;\"><strong>What is on the Math Placement Assessment?<\/strong><span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-10' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-10' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>ALEKS PPL is an online, adaptive system that covers a broad spectrum of mathematics topics.
