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 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  \nMVNU 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.  \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  \nyour academic advisor. Your advisor will review your scores and help make appropriate recommendations for course registration.  \nWho should take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? All incoming students who do not have ACT or SAT math subscores, or who wish to improve their math subscore in an attempt to test out of remedial math coursework. Please note: Not all MVNU majors require proof of Algebra proficiency. Please contact your admissions counselor if you are unsure of your need for placement testing. Incoming College Credit Plus (Dual Enrollment) students should contact the Dual Enrollment Office to determine necessary testing requirements.  \nWhen do I take the ALEKS PPL Assessment? Students should complete the ALEKS PPL initial assessment prior to registering for classes at MVNU. Subsequent assessments may change a student’s placement which could affect the courses that can be taken and so students should communicate with their advisors after each new assessment.  \nAre ALEKS PPL Assessments proctored? MVNU has arranged for students to take their ALEKS assessments using the Respondus Lockdown browser system. Instruction describing how to use this system are available.
