I just found this out so I figured I'd pass it along. Many of you probably already know this. When you are figuring a problem on ALEK's w/a lot of numbers, you can highlight the numbers on the screen and hit the Sum button on the calculator which gives you a total in the calculator. Speeds up the process tremendously. You can also get a standard deviation by highlighting the numbers and hitting the S button. I should have learned this a long time ago. This is where a bit of my time went. Maybe this will save some of you time.

is this the calculator in MS windows or is this the calculator on the ALEKS website itself?

The ALEK's site. To be honest w/you, I didn't even realize you can use Excel to figure problems out until someone gave me a quick tutorial. I'm behind the 8 ball on quite a few of these special features.
