New students are encouraged to complete ALEKS prior to orientation. Students who have not already taken ALEKS and wish to enroll in a mathematics course at DMACC for the first time or who need to meet program requirements will be required to take the ALEKS mathematics placement assessment before registering in a math class. Taking the assessment early will give you time to retake the assessment to improve your score.  \nWhere Do I Take the ALEKS Assessment?  \nPreferred option: Visit Testing Center Locations ([testcenters.dmacc.edu](testcenters.dmacc.edu)) and choose a DMACC location to take your ALEKS assessment. Carefully review the hours of operation and scheduling requirements.  \nAlternative option: Take the assessment from any location using the Respondus Monitor Lockdown proctoring software. Go to [https://www.aleks.com/support/lockdown_system_requirements](https://www.aleks.com/support/lockdown_system_requirements) to view system requirements for remote testing. Please note that your PC needs to have Windows 10+ or Mac 12(Monterey)+ and a webcam for the assessment to work. Download and install the required software on your PC. Once the PC is set up, access the assessment by logging into myDMACC and selecting ALEKS Math Assessment in the left navigation menu under  \nShortcuts. If you have technical issues, contact ALEKS for support:  \n[https://mh. my.site.com/aleks/s/alekscontactsupport](https://mh. my.site.com/aleks/s/alekscontactsupport)  \nRefer to the ALEKS Information Pages ([tests.dmacc.edu](tests.dmacc.edu)) for ALEKS Assessment FAQs as well as instructions for taking the assessment at a DMACC location or taking it remotely.  \nTest Aids Provided by Proctor  \n\n| 1 Pencil | Scratch Paper | Calculator (built-in online) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n􀁸 Assistance from friends, family, websites, textbooks, or any other resource not provided by ALEKS during your assessment is prohibited.  \n􀁸 Using prohibited resources may lead to improper course placement and course failure. Test misconduct is a violation of DMACC's Student Conduct Policy.  \n􀁸 Suspicious behavior flagged by Respondus Monitor proctoring software will be reviewed by staff in the DMACC Math Department in accordance with DMACC Policy ES4670 – Academic Misconduct.  \nAssessment Tips  \nThe assessment takes an average of 60 minutes to complete with a time limit of 120 minutes. There are a maximum of 30 questions, and it will include some of the math you learned in high school. To see a list of all possible topics covered, visit the ALEKS website ([https://www.aleks.com/highered/ppl/ALEKS_Placement_Problem_Types.pdf](https://www.aleks.com/highered/ppl/ALEKS_Placement_Problem_Types.pdf)  ) .  \nALEKS is not a multiple-choice Placement Assessment. It is open-response and requires you to work out solutions with paper and pencil, then enter the answer into ALEKS. Do your best on topics that are familiar but note that you only enter a final answer. Points are not awarded for showing your work.  \nYou may be asked questions on material you have not yet learned or do not remember. It is appropriate to answer,“I Don't Know\" for these questions. ALEKS interprets this as you do not know how to solve the topic. Wrong answers are weighted more heavily against your score than selecting \" I Don't Know\" as your answer.  \nALEKS is adaptive; once you submit an answer, you cannot change it. The assessment chooses your next question based on your previous answers. Carefully check your answers before submitting your response.  \nUpdated 08/25/2026  \nAccessing the ALEKS Assessment  \n1. Upon arriving at the testing location of your choice, you will be asked to show a current photo ID such as driver’s license, DART pass, or student ID.  \n2.
