Aleks intermediate Algebra

[UptonSinclair]

Given that your daughter has talent for math, I would suggest that she complete 90-100% of each course's pie before going on to the next. At 70%, passing is only C grade level knowledge. Since math knowledge is cumulative, no time is really wasted scoring a higher percent before going on since she will score almost point for point higher in the initial assessment for the next higher course. E.g. a 70% on Int. Algebra might get you 40% on the initial assessment for College Algebra while 90% on the lower level course should get you a 60% plus on the next one in sequence. Also, to really be well prepared for no tears calculus, non-calculus physics, and/or chemistry. You should really work to 90%+ on Pre-calc. Leaving out 30% of the topics in any course may inadvertently cause you to miss almost entire subjects. At least make sure that you complete all slices of the pie to the same level of completion so this doesn't happen and leave you woefully underprepared for higher math and/or science courses.

I could just post "yep" and say everything I intend to say, but most people here know I am not that brief. In 2013 I started my math journey with Beginning Algebra. Within 18 months I was taking Calculus I through Excelsior, but I would complete every course different if I were starting over. I moved so quick through the material that I remember very little. I completed 70% of each Aleks course and moved on. By the time I got to Calculus, I was lucky to make it through the course after a month of cramming Pre-Calculus. Right know, Calculus II stands between me and a Computer Science degree because I would have to start from Algebra I again to get through Calculus II.

I would suggest completing close to 100% on each Aleks course before moving on for anyone who has future math courses to complete. There is much to be said for practice.
