I think there is an option (in your teacher account or something) to force a knowledge test. This way you can test out again and hopefully skip some parts.
Also it is very important to check your exact answer.

If Aleks is not for you there is CSM Learn, there is a lot of good reviews on that course/provider.

This was back in 2016, the system/view for it may have changed but I recall some others were able to continue trucking onward after forcing an assessment.  Once you get 70% or higher, add it to your ACE account.

Hey eriehiker!

I think the good old days of doing any shortcuts on Aleks are over.  I don't see any way to get around doing 70% of the pie or to force the assessments.  I'm on day 5 now.. 47% of the pie.. 251 topics.. 34 total hours.  Absolutely horrible.

Thanks!
