Does anyone here have experience with ALEKS Chemistry course? How many modules are there? How difficult was the course? How long did it take you to get to 70 percent completion?

Adam,
Were you looking to take it to learn Chemistry or hoping to get credits for it ?
I do not believe that ALEKS course has been ACE reviewed.

I just checked the ACE site, its not an approved course. They have Gen Chem II listed as partial. When that gets up and you get through both you could CLEP it as you should know the stuff.

Yeah ultimately CLEP is the way to go, but with a subject like Chem it might be good to use ALEKS as test prep.

Hello!
Does anyone here know when ALEKS will have General Chemistry II up and running? Does InstantCert plan on adding a module for the CLEP Chemistry exam and, if so, when?
Thanks!
