What is ALEKS?  \nALEKS® (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is a powerful artificial intelligence-based assessment software product that zeros in on the student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports its findings and then, if necessary, provides a learning module to improve the student's knowledge and skill.  \n2. What is the cost of the ALEKS placement assessment?  \nThe initial assessment, learning module, and two additional assessments (the “reassessments”) are covered by fees already paid.  \n3. Can I practice with ALEKS before I take the placement assessment?  \nYou may sign up for an optional free trial on ALEKS by visiting the ALEKS® website.  \n4. How long does it take to complete the ALEKS assessment?  \nThe assessment typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes, so plan accordingly. Short breaks are permitted during the assessment since it is not timed. Please complete your first assessment; if you log out before completing it, you may log back in and ALEKS will resume where you left off. The ALEKS assessment will be available 48 hours from the time of your first login. After that, it will time out, and you will not be able to complete that assessment.  \n5. Does ALEKS require any special software to run on my computer?  \nThe use of ALEKS requires installation of the ALEKS plug-in or use of the streaming plug-in. The plugin should install on your computer automatically the first time you access the ALEKS site. After installation of the ALEKS plug-in, restart (reboot) your computer. If you have trouble installing the plug-in go, contact ALEKS Customer Support or [support.kent.edu](support.kent.edu) at 330-672-HELP (4357) .  \n6. Who should I contact if I am unable to log in to my math assessment?  \nIf you are unable to access your ALEKS Mathematics Placement assessment because it has been more than 48 hours since you first logged in to the assessment, please contact University Advising and Testing at 330-672-0166 or [testingservices@kent.edu](testingservices@kent.edu).  \n7. Who should I contact if I have further questions about the ALEKS Placement Assessment?  \nIf you have further questions about the ALEKS Placement Assessment, please email the placement coordinator.  \n8. Will MATH 10038 Statistical Thinking or MATH 10475 Algebraic Thinking count as my Kent Core?  \nNo. Neither course has been approved for the Mathematics and Critical Reasoning (KMCR) category and will not count towards your Kent Core requirement.","cbCaicdifgtFUyPZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicdifgtFUyPZ","pdf",109144,"English","# Mathematics Placement Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\n## What is ALEKS?\n## Cost and optional practice\n## Time, access window, and login support\n## Required plug-in and troubleshooting\n## Course counting for Kent Core (KMCR)","[{\"question\":\"What is ALEKS and what does it do for mathematics placement?\",\"answer\":\"ALEKS is an AI-based assessment that pinpoints a student’s mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports the results, and can provide a learning module to improve knowledge and skill.\"},{\"question\":\"How much does the ALEKS placement assessment cost?\",\"answer\":\"The initial assessment, learning module, and two additional reassessments are covered by fees already paid.\"},{\"question\":\"How long does the ALEKS assessment take and what happens if you log out?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes.
