My question and my concern is this:
Will any credit earned now with Aleks be safe if I get it transferred to ACE now? Let's say things fall out with Aleks again, will my credits be "grandfathered in" to TESU or will they not be accepted? If that is not the case then this news will only help people who are already signed up with their college as a student.

Yes, once it is on ACE it is set.  It is all by the date you completed it.

Thanks for telling me.

I took the class after the deadline, in fear, they would need to change the program (add proctored test) to get re-approved for ACE (and I'd be grandfathered).  


Anyone know if the program changed?

I have that same question myself. Is it still the same format or is it now Proctored at the end? If it is Proctored then it will lose its appeal to me. If it is the same as before then I am interested.

p.s. Would it be too much trouble for ALEKS to update their website with this news? This seems too good to be true.

ALEKS is the *only* reason I managed to pass a Statistics class and (believe it or not) I'm having a real struggle with the two courses above. (The book for the TECEP is terrible, as dfrecore warned me about, and SDC, though usually my favorite learning platform, has been better, but still a struggle.)

Is there currently an ACE-approved ALEKS equivalent that maybe I'm just missing? That would save me a whole lot of stress if that were the case.

Hi,
 
We are currently able to process ACE Credit for approved courses that have been completed with an assessment of 70% or higher.
 
Our website will be updated in the near future.
 
Thank you,
ALEKS Support

Let me ask everyone here for their opinion on how long it would take to complete ALEKS College Alegbra (assuming it is not Proctored now).

I am okay at basic Math and I have a basic level of understanding in Beginning Algebra. If I were to spend 8 to 10 hours a day in ALEKS then do you think it can be completed within a month? I know it is hard to take a guess at this without knowing me personally but I am just asking for a guess. Can it be done by someone who is average or even below average at College Algebra if they spend 8 to 10 hours a day working on it? Can it be done in 30 days?

I can tell you that I went into Statistics having never passed a college math class, and having tried (and failed) to pass Statistics in a college classroom multiple times. So I went in completely clueless. I think I scored 23 on my initial assessment, which was actually better than I expected.

I got to a passing score (71) in ALEKS in right about 40 hours total.

So I'm thinking that if I could do it in that time frame basically from scratch, that the odds are good that you could get through College Algebra with even a little bit of background in Beginning Algebra.

I missed out on Aleks the first time around and I am not going to miss out again. I will have my opportunity in a few weeks. Then I will basically live inside of ALEKS until I am done. I should have been more honest in my first post. The fact is I suck at Math. My understanding is of Algebra is extremely limited and below average. Sharing your personal story on knocking out Statistics in 40 Hours is inspirational to me.
