I hate you ALEKS!!!

[plutoon]

I feel your pain! I had the same issue last month when I was going though the algebra stuff on ALEKS. It just takes perseverance... you will eventually get it.

There are also some great online tools to supplement the ALEKS college algebra materials help you get the concepts down too. The first two have videos, which made things much easier for me, since I'm an audio/video learner. The rest are just helpful online resources.

• Math Tutoring & Test Prep - Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, SAT, GRE, GED & many more - YourTeacher.com
  
• PatrickJMT

• Virtual Math Lab - College Algebra
  
• Purplemath
  
• Free Math Help - Lessons, tutoring, message board and more. Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Calculus... whatever level you're studying!

You can also use Mathway (Mathway: Math Problem Solver) but I found that without the subscription it isn't all that helpful, other than to check your work. I ended up getting a trial subscription though and found that to be very helpful, though the way it solves some of the problems is a bit odd.

Keep it up and you'll be fine! Once I knock out a few more exams I'll be back on ALEKS to for statistics, and maybe pre-calc as well if I'm feeling frisky.

I thought Aleks College Algebra was tough. I agree the way it answers some of the questions are insane! But, this evening I passed with 70% on my 8th assessment! :-) I am so happy! Don't know if I need Statistics. I may try and see what I assess at but if it's very low I may just skip it. Thanks for all the advice. I used most of those resources just to understand the questions.
