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 60-90 minutes to complete. After the Placement Assessment, an individualized Prep and Learning Module is available for students to refresh their knowledge on forgotten topics. Students then have the opportunity toreassess 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  \nPitt-Greensburg 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 meet with their advisor 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 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 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 refer to the academic integrity policy on page 7 of the Student Code of Conduct & Judicial Procedures at [https://www.greensburg.pitt.edu/sites/default/fi](https://www.greensburg.pitt.edu/sites/default/fi)les/pdf student-life/Student%20Handbook%202018-2019 . pdf.  \nFAQs  \nPreparation  \nWhy must I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? The Placement Assessment is used to determine the mathematics course in which you will have the greatest success. Upon completion of the Placement Assessments, your scores are sent to your academic advisor. Your advisor will review your scores and help make appropriate recommendations for course registration.  \nWho has to take the ALEKS PPL Assessment?  \nEveryone, with two exceptions.  \n1. If you have already earned college math credit, either through AP credit, College in High School, or by other means, the college-level courses you have already completed will determine your math placement.  \n2. Early Childhood Education majors taking MATH 00050 and 0052 need not take the placement test.  \nThe academic program you have chosen determines your math requirements. Table 1 below identifies the math requirement by program. The minimum requirement is described as “Basic Competency” and can be satisfied by taking one of the following courses: CS 0098, MATH 0031, MATH 0080 or PHIL 0500. Otherwise, the numbers specify the MATH courses required for a program.
