ALEKS PPL is a web-based program that uses artificial intelligence to map a student’s strengths and weaknesses. The Placement Assessment is up to 30 questions and generally takes about 90 minutes to complete. After the Placement Assessment, an individualized Prep and Learning Module is available for students torefresh their knowledge on forgotten topics. Students then have the opportunity to reassess and improve their placement.  \nALEKS consists of three parts:  \n• An Initial Placement Assessment  \n• The Prep and Learning Module, an individualized, self-paced online review  \n• Access to 4 additional Placement Assessments  \nLehigh encourages each student to spend time in the Prep and Learning Module, even if the desired score is achieved, because time spent in ALEKS will ultimately lead to better preparation and improved grades.  \nWhat is the purpose of placement testing? The Placement Assessment results will be used to determine the most appropriate courses for each student as they move forward with college coursework. After taking a Placement Assessment, students should consult our advice webpage to select the appropriate class based on their score. They can also consult their College's advising team to review their results and enroll in the best classes based on their scores.  \nThis is a “Placement Assessment,” not a test. The difference is that a Placement Assessment is designed to determine what a student knows and what a student needs to work on. At the end of the ALEKS PPL Assessment, a student will have a much better sense of his/her strengths and weaknesses in math. Students then have a chance to brush up on topics that may have been forgotten or haven’t been practiced for some time.  \nBe honest. It is important that the Placement Assessment is taken seriously, and that each student gives it an honest effort so that the Placement Assessment truly reflects their current level of knowledge and math preparedness. There is no benefit to cheating on the Placement Assessment – the only result will be that a student enrolls in a class that is too difficult, or not challenging enough, potentially costing time and money. Therefore, while taking the Placement Assessment, students should not consult any outside sources for help (friends/family, internet searches, textbooks, notes etc... ) . The purpose of the Placement Assessment is to give an accurate measure of a student’s current mathematical knowledge state so that he/she will be successful in mathematics courses. Please  \ngo to [https://studentaffairs.lehigh.edu/content/code-conduct](https://studentaffairs.lehigh.edu/content/code-conduct) for information on Lehigh’s expectations concerning academic integrity.  \nFAQs  \nPreparation  \nWhy must I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? The Placement Assessment is used to determine the calculus course in which you will have the greatest success. Upon completion of the Placement Assessments, your scores are sent to your College’s academic advising team. If necessary, they can help make appropriate recommendations for course registration.  \nWho has to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? All first-year students who wish to register for an introductory calculus course (MATH 021, 081, 051, or 075) are required to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment. Students who receive advanced placement credit for MATH 021 (AP, IC, transfer, etc. ) and register for a second-semester calculus course do not need to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment. Students who intend to register for a non-Calculus mathematics course (e.g. MATH 005, 043) or Pre-Calculus (MATH 000) do not need to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment.  \nWhen do I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? Students beginning study in the fall should complete the first attempt as soon as possible between May 15 and July 1.  \n\n| Semester Attending Dates for Completing the Firs","cbCaih9phvn7XnTM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih9phvn7XnTM","pdf",305338,"English","# What is ALEKS?\n## Purpose of placement testing\n## Placement Assessment vs. test\n# Preparation\n## Why must I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment?\n## Who has to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment?\n## When do I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment?\n## Are ALEKS PPL Assessments proctored?\n## Is there a fee for using ALEKS PPL?\n## Do I need to install any software or plug-ins?\n## What topics are covered during the ALEKS PPL Assessment?","[{\"question\":\"Why must a student take the ALEKS PPL Placement Assessment?\",\"answer\":\"The Placement Assessment is used to determine the calculus course where the student will have the greatest success.
