Sheer memorization. Memorize the formulas, figure them out inside and out, and just keep chugging along.

Now that is the first time I've heard ALEKS called addicting or fun. There must be a generational, or geographical, or societal gap here of some sort. Addicting things are usually things that shouldn't be done but are difficult to stop, fun is something I want to do that I often shouldn't. ALEKS is something I don't want to do and can't seem to continue doing. So ...

He's doing *all* the math, too (Excelsior's BSEET, he's needing the algebra/trig/precalc stuff before tackling the required calcs).
I used ALEKS for biz stats, and was very VERY happy to finally finish...glad for the credit but some days a root canal sounded like more fun!

You people are all crazy! ALEKS makes me question the value of life and all things I hold dear!

:iagree: Rickyjo ALEKS is like my worst nightmare/the most embarrassing moment in life/a bad day at the office all rolled into one. I NEED to get this done I have just put my whole carreer path on hold for a week (or maybe longer), but I needed to get away from ALEKS or I might have killed someone.
Now I have to get back to it, but as Scarlet said Tomorrow is another day.
Once I finish this statistics course I never want to look at ALEKS again:p

I am in end-stage addiction. I took Quant Methods after ALEKS and I'm now considering this.
