ALEKS PPL is a web-based program that uses artificial intelligence to map a student’s strengthsand weaknesses. The Assessment is up to 30 questions and generally takes 60-90 minutes to complete. After the Assessment, an individualized Prep and Learning Module is available to help you refresh your knowledge of important background topics. After completing the module, you will have several chances to retake the Assessment and improve your score.  \nALEKS consists of three parts:  \n• An Initial Assessment  \n• The Prep and Learning Module, an individualized, self-paced online review  \n• Access to four additional Assessments  \nWhat is the point of ALEKS?  \nWhat is the purpose of the Initial Assessment? Your initial Assessment is a diagnostic tool. Your score on the first Assessment will allow ALEKS to develop a personalized Learning Module geared specifically toward topics you may not have seen before or that you need to review. After completing the review, you may retake the Assessment up to four additional times as a three-hour exam.  \nWhat does the Assessment score mean? Your initial Assessment result (overall score) is a number between 0 and 100. It represents the percentage of topics ALEKS has identified you have mastered. Through guided review and retakes, your goal is to get your Assessment as high as you can. Here is what your initial Assessment score means.1  \n\n| Your ALEKS Score | What the Score Means |\n| --- | --- |\n| 76 – 100 | You are ready for Calculus I |\n| 61 – 75 | You need some review of precalculus topics |\n| 46 – 60 | You need some review of algebra procedures |\n| 30 – 45 | You need extensive review of algebra procedures |\n| 14 – 29 | You need some review of arithmetic procedures before working on algebra skills |\n| 0 – 13 | You need extensive review of arithmetic procedures before working on algebra skills |\n\n1 If your score is below 60, we recommend that you consult with your advisor or instructor.  \nWe encourage you 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.  \nHow does my ALEKS score figure into my grade? ALEKS research has shown that an Assessment score of 76-100 correlates with preparation for Calculus I. Since you are enrolled in Calculus I, we expect you to ultimately earn an ALEKS score in this range. The contribution your ALEKS score makes will be 5% -10% of your total grade. Exactly what percentage the grade contributes and exactly how the grade is computed depends on your instructor; that information will be included in your course syllabus. Improvement and scoring in the desired range are the important factors and will be reflected in how your ALEKS grade is computed.  \nIs there a deadline for finishing ALEKS PPL? Since you are enrolled in Calculus I, it is critical that you accomplish your ALEKS-based review soon as possible. Consequently, you must complete ALEKS PPL by mid-term. Any Assessments taken after mid-term will not be counted. The exact date will be provided in your syllabus.  \nRemember, there is a lot of background material important to Calculus I, and you need to be up-to-date on this material as soon as possible in order to get the most out of your class experience.  \nHow should I use ALEKS PPL? The initial Assessment is designed to determine what you know and what you need to work on. The Assessment covers topics ranging from beginning algebra to precalculus and includes questions about basic number manipulation, algebra operations, functions, and trigonometry. As a student entering Calculus I, you are expected to be familiar with most of these topics, especially the algebra procedures and the basic trigonometry.
