just bought the 1 month membership to ALEKS for intermediate algebra and business statistics.
How do I take the assessment/see the score? not very impressed with the portal lay out.
Thank you in advance.

You logon as the Master Account and then create a Student Account and selecting the "Higher Education: Intermediate Algebra" course.
The student account then just needs you to logon and begin the initial assessment. If your first assessment is over 70%, you're done.
If not, then you will need to go back the Master Account, and request another assessment, repeat the process until you're over 70%.
Note: Once done, I usually recommend to wait until the course has gone over to ACE Credit Registry before enrolling in another (Statistics).

I second the sentiment of waiting for it to show up on ACE before switching courses. Mine took only a day or two to show up.

I did the initial assessment, but i see no evidence of a score report.. Where would i find it?

It's not a "score" or "score report", it's whatever it says your mastery level is for the whole pie. If it's over 70%, you're done, unless you just want to continue learning.

Yea, it will be broken down either by topics or percentage if you change it to that. If you have 70 out of 100 topics completed then you are at 70%. That's just an example, I don't remember how many topics each course has. I just did the math and figured out how many topics I needed to complete to get to 69.5% since they round and once I hit that number I knew I was done. I agree that the site isn't the greatest but it's easy to navigate once you get the hang of it.

Alright that makes sense. Thank you so much!

You'll probably hate it a little less doing statistics, the little web calculator they provide isn't half bad with the stats functions it has. Certainly better than any calculator or calculator 'app' I have. There are numerous youtube videos you watch that demonstrate how to use it effectively if the built in help isn't enough.

Alzee is correct- The calculator for Stats is very convenient. I found the videos by John Wood on YouTube to be fantastic for the Stats course.

How would one request another assessment?
