I finished College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Precalc all in about 6 hours collectively through ALEKS. Silly me thought Stats would be a breeze too, even though I have never had a full on stats class. I made the really dumb mistake of not taking the first assessment seriously and just clicked through most of it thinking I could look at the explanations and ace the 2nd assessment. Having only needed 2-3 assessments on all other subjects I didn't realize you can only increase your proficiency percentage incrementally so it took me 20+ assessments to get there.
After all of those I could now calculate for you the average increase between assessments along with the standard deviation for the whole population, maybe throw in some z scores and t distributions...but I don't ever want to do another statistics problem as long as I live!!!
