Am I the only one who struggles with Aleks?

I did! I started very low and eventually made it to 70%. It seemed like every two steps forward I would set myself back one during an assessment. My highest math course was a very long time ago and was pre-algebra. I just thought I would throw myself into Pre-Calculus and bit the bullet.
What eventually helped me with Alex was a notebook. I would write down the name of the problem in the pie chart and then write down the information given about each problem and I kept all of the problem examples. I could refer to these when I was in an assessment. It helped me keep track of what to do for each type of problem. The more exact I kept my notebook the better I would do on the assessments. That's when I really started to make progress. Also, I only planned to make it to 70%. Keeping that in mind, if there was a problem that seemed complicated, I skipped it and went to problems that I could learn. I also used mathway.com to help me learn the formulas. I ended up finishing in about 6 weeks. It seemed like forever and then it just popped! You can do it, don't give up! It is way better than paying for a college course or trying to remember everything for a test! Good Luck Sweetie!
