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.
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.
