Attached is a screenshot of my progress report. I thought when you reached 70% the course was over, but it appears to be all the same, and I received no notification of having passed the course. Should I just apply for credit at ACE? Thanks for any help.

That's because the course is not over when you get to 70%. I took my ALEKS courses to 100%, did every single piece of the pie.
Now, if you want to get ACE credit for the course, then you only need a 70% in order to get that - that's a totally separate thing. But from the ALEKS side of things, you're definitely not done with the course.

there are plenty of required courses where you'll never need to use the material.
not saying that math is necessarily one of those.

I have a friend who teaches algebra. She claims that it's SO important, and you need it constantly in everyday life. Um, me... I just haven't noticed it.
Some parts of my finance and accounting courses needed some very, very basic algebra - but, if you're not going for a business degree - whatever for?
Just my opinion.

It depends on your mental processes. I use basic algebra as a way to structure mental calculations and rapidly memorize certain classes of information. I've been doing it long enough now that it's completely automatic. (Yes, I'm a nerd. I'm also white. Pretty sure there is a song about that...)
Theoretically, I suppose someone could turn any math into a utility, be it Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, or even something as nuts as Fractals.
One of these days, I'm going to spend six months or a year putting the sum of my mind into reading about and learning advanced mathematics (starting back down at College Algebra to brush up and going up through Differential Equations and Linear Algebra) just to see if I can find a good utilitarian purpose for it.

Personally, I love math - especially upper level math - at least, I've only gotten as far as Precalculus. (I don't know if I would love calculus - I never went that far.)
I just don't know if there's any real utility in learning math as in "college algebra math" (at least the kind of college algebra that I learned in my community college - which is, I think, a few steps above Aleks). I know that some of my friends who are educators say that learning higher level math helps people develop their brains and they can think more logically. I wouldn't know, I took a programming course years ago - way before I took any kind of upper level math (including high school math), and I found that programming and logic came naturally to me - but, I guess, that's just me, so I don't know.
I do know that I have never used any kind of algebra in every day life - logic, yes, algebra, no.

LOL if I need to learn something, I will. I don't need a teacher or a tuition bill to make that happen! A credential (college credit, diploma, degree, etc.) is a credential- learning is learning. 2 piles. Sometimes they overlap, but they don't have to. Some of the things in this world that I know the MOST about I learned on my own - some of the things I like to do (hobbies) would burn me out if I had to also learn them academically. We all get to choose, it's a beautiful thing. Take the 70, get the credit, and if you want more - go for it. If not, move on!
