Then. . . .  \nSTEP 1  \nGo to the website [Aleks.com](Aleks.com) to create an account for the current SSC Cohort (Spring 2017) . Use your SSC email address for your username and make a note of your password and keep it in a safe place. Type in the 10-character course code found on your testing receipt. You are now ready for your initial assessment. This will be your first attempt to place into the highest level of math in which you can succeed.  \nNOTE: This placement test has built-in review/remediation capabilities. It will identify your strengths and weaknesses based on the initial assessment, then create a study plan for you based on your educational goals. You may take the first two tests unproctored (at home) in preparation for the “real” test, to be administered in the SSC Assessment Center. You may also choose to have any test proctored, at which time your math placement will be determined. Steps 2-5 below describe the recommended course of action.  \nSTEP 2  \nTake the initial test unproctored (at home, in a library, or in a SSC computer lab) . The results of this test will generate a report identifying the math class in which you placed, and segregating your skills by objective. You may elect to take this first test proctored in the Assessment Center if you feel that you are immediately ready to determine your math placement.  \nSTEP 3  \nUse the results of your initial assessment to review with Aleks for a minimum of 3 hours. Theremediation plan will specifically address your weaknesses, familiarize you with the testing format and tools, and get you ready to try again.  \nSTEP 4  \nTake the Aleks PPL placement test again. You have two options:  \nOPTION 1  \n• Proctored test taken in the SSC Assessment Center  \n• Results are official.  \n• You may register for a math class.  \nOPTION 2  \n• Unproctored test taken at home, library, etc.  \n• Results are not official.  \n• Review/remediate with Aleks for 3 hours.  \n• Test again.  \nAt any time within six months, you may opt for additional review and a retest.  \nSTEP 5  \nThe above process may be repeated. The test may be taken up to 5 times within a six month time period. Aleks will communicate with you via email to let you know your current status. Tests 2, 3, 4, and 5 require a minimum amount of review/remediation time. Test 2 may betaken proctored OR unproctored. Tests 3, 4, 5 must be proctored in the Testing Center.","cbCaieChVWg6oEC8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieChVWg6oEC8","pdf",92163,"English","# Instructions for Students\n## Steps 1-5: Initial assessment and retesting options","[{\"question\":\"How do students create an ALEKS account and start the initial assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Students go to Aleks.com to create an account for the current SSC Cohort (Spring 2017) using their SSC email address as the username.
