Am I the only one who struggles with Aleks?

Intermediate algebra is actually high school math (at least in my opinion); college algebra is much harder.

Have you tried to use mathway.com (free) to help with the problems?

Well, no I've actually been doing them the old fashioned way, pencil & paper. Basically I've been clicking on the first thing to go over & hitting the explain button to get the answer the first time, screen shotting it, pasting into Word, then doing the next three practice examples on paper until it tells me I can click Done & move onto the next thing to learn.

Should I be doing this another way? I thought that after the initial eval it will only give me retests only after doing so many problems. I was under the impression that the evals were for helping Aleks know where I stand so it knows what topics to cover next. And then after I get at least a 70% of the whole pie "done" I can submit this to ACE for credit.
