ALEKS Annual Cost 179.00 for all ACE Credits? Is it per course per year?

[jme]

I am looking at https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/Isl...._quiz_hash. I would like to clarify the cost of education at ALEKS. I am wanting the ACE credits for TESC.

The order form says 179.00 per year but it only allows you to select one course.

So I have to pay 179 per course per year?

Is the 6 mth plan also per course per year?

ALEKS has you buy access to the site, it's $19.95/mo, $99.95/6mo, or $179.95/12mo. You choose a course to start on the order page, but you'll note in small print that you can change the course at anytime for no extra charge. I'm not sure how they handle subject areas, but at least in a subject area, you can potentially do all of their math courses in 1 month for $19.95. Their products have several markets, but I suspect their largest one due to the pricing structure, is around the K-12 market. That market is less interested in course cramming and more interested in year-long instruction of students - thusly the monthly subscription, pre-calc/stat being the final courses, and the price breaks for 6mo and 12mo. We're really just an afterthought I'd imagine, with our cramming and transfer.

I chose the yearly subscriptions for two of my kids. When they completed a course that was ACE evaluated, after it was placed on their ACE transcript I would go into ALEKS and change the course to the next one that each child needed.
You can choose any course that you want within the year (or whatever subscription rate that you choose).
My daughter did all the ALEKS ACE credits that she needed and then decided that she also wanted to do Chemistry too, which is not ACE evaluated, because she needed Chemistry for high school. So in other words YOU can choose any course that you want One-at-a-time.

Or you could choose the $20.00 a month plan and see how many courses you can do that way. I chose the yearly because we weren't in any rush and I wanted my kids to really understand what they were doing, not to just rush to get credits. Some on the courses they went from basically zero knowledge so they needed the extra time.

I've had one child do the monthly subscription.
Two children do the yearly and then I have another that is on the 6 months subscription. You pick which ever that suits what you need/want.

I had ALEKS for four months and did Beginning Algebra and Geometry for a few days as refreshers, then College Algebra, Trig, and Stats. $80 for 9 credits.
