ALEKS Intro Stats - passed on initial assessment! - wandac - 03-03-2017
Well, my son powered on through the initial assessment and really felt he had failed it. We both stand in stunned amazement that he passed the initial assessment for Intro to Statistics with a 78%, "mastering" 90/116 topics!!!!!!!! I don't know how that happened, but we'll take it!
Upon examination of his pie, he had 19/19 on Mathematical Readiness, 21/22 on Descriptive Statistics, 15/16 on Probability, 18/20 on Random Variables & Distributions, 10/22 on Confidence Intervals & Hypothesis Testing (which he said was half the assessment questions), 5/7 on Regression & Correlation, and 2/10 on ANOVA, Chi-square, & non-parametric tests.
Is it possible that his good Precalc, Intermediate Alg, and College Alg scores carried over into part of the statistics pie?
Go figure!
I would say he put around 40 hours into it.
And to think, I was ready to get him a binder and dividers to start printing example problems...

Congrats! While material still fresh, if interested, have him take the saylor business stats course for UL credit (OPM-351) at TESU. Cheap and excellent complement to the aleks course.

Cheap and excellent complement to the aleks course.Thanks. Since it took him around 40 hours to complete the ALEKS stats assessment, I don't think he'd be able to complete a 2-hour Saylor business stats exam. He had no prior statistics knowledge, but he does have strong math skills.

HELP!!:
Has anyone taken the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature exam for CLEP? If so, can anyone give me some pointers on what to study? I've taken it once before, and came up short by four points... even though I studied for like a month. Thanks!

Does ALEKS allow you to just keep requesting assessment after assessment? Is that what your son did? If not, do you mean he just spent 40 hours on one test? I'm a tad confused.
