ALEKS question/ACE

[namwen]

My son is 29 hours into intermediate algebra and sitting at 44%. He started at 8% 6 days ago, so I'm good with that. He needs to finish intermediate and college algebra by the 28th of May. You think he can do it? I sure hope so.

My second question is this: Can someone tell me how to navigate that monstrosity of a website that ACE has? I need to create an account for my son and have found the thing to be a really stupid site. If I could punch the site in the face I would.

Definitely doable, Intermediate Algebra and Algebra overlap in material. I was able to assess at 55% on Algebra after finishing intermediate. Then it took about a week to finish, I probably spent 4 hours a day on it till I was done.

That's the website you register for ace transcript, once you have an account, on the upper left hand side click on "my courses", select to "add new course", search for ALEKS, and request the course you've finished. Then it takes like 24hrs for it to appear on your ace account.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Did you go beyond 70% with intermediate algebra?

Yeah, I plugged away at it till I covered about 75% of the material, I scored a 81% when it assessed me. I had less difficulty with the algebra then the intermediate, my guess is because I jumped right on the the algebra after finishing the intermediate.

Before taking the Algebra assessment I recommend to study graphing functions, hyperbolas, and circles "center-radius form".

Good luck!
