ALEXS - what do I need to know

[cframe]

My daughter will be taking ALEXS Pre-calc to fulfill the TESC BSBA requirement.

I get that once she completes 70% she can be complete, contact ACE to have free? transcript sent to TESC.

What else do I need to know?
Wasn't there a study website posted that was invaluable?
Can someone summarize the details for those of us just getting started on this route.

Thanks!

Here is how it works :

Instructions to Receive ACE Credit for an ACE Credit-Recommended ALEKS Course:

Register in an ALEKS ACE credit-recommended course and assess at 70% or greater on the course material.
Register with the ACE Credit Online Transcript System and submit a transcript request.
ALEKS Corporation will receive the transcript request and verify if you have assessed at 70% or greater on the course material. This usually takes ALEKS Corporation approximately three business days.
If you have assessed at 70% or greater, you will receive an email from ACE when processing is complete. This usually takes approximately 1-3 business days for ACE to complete.
If your request is denied, you can continue to work in your ALEKS Pie until you have assessed at 70% or greater on the course material, and then resubmit a transcript request following the steps above.
The ACE transcript can be used to request college credit at educational institutions that grant credit for ACE credit-recommended courses.

i don't believe there is any cost till you send the transcript out from ACE. If memory serves its about $45 for 1st transcript and $15 for subsequent transcripts

Yes, that sounds about right. I have an ALEKS account I'm not using right now. Let me know if you'd like to use it...

Agvi --
Yes! Please!

Not sure how you would use someone elses aleks account.
In order to get credit you have to share SS # and such. I guess you could access it to try it out that way though.

If you google "aleks discount code" you will find a discount off your first month. They also offer a free trial period that lasts a couple of days.

Thanks rebel100 for the excellent breakdown. ALEXS seems to be a better fit than attending a CC course M-F. Any other tips are appreciated.

I'm administrator of a K-12 school, so we've purchased bulk ALEKS licenses. We don't need a SSN. Only the student's name and email.

SWEET !!!

Now I'm just curious....without a SS# how would it get transcribed to ACE ? I remember giving my Soc. to them both at registration.

BTW my daughter passed Aleks Beg. Alg. today and we had it on the ACE transcript in about 20 minutes ! Very fast turnaround !

That's fantastic! Congrats to your daughter.

As for SSN, we've never needed one for students in ALEKS, although we do use them as the student IDs. We've purchased licenses, so all we need is the student's name and email and we can activate the license to the student.

Since the licenses are for one year, it seems like a waste to leave it unused at any time. Everything I needed to know about sharing, I learned in kindergarten... :coolgleam:
