Precalculus CLEP, any help IC

Thanks gus for website.

What i don`t like about ALEKS reassessment is that it downgrade you after when you answer one or more questions wrong. it`s just annoying.

This happened to my son today, he lost 2 points out of one of his pies. He wasn't happy. As his mom, I just encouraged him. BUT, for CLEPping, I have other ideas. Here are my thoughts on the 100% competency idea- I think it's actually better to know 100% of some questions than 50/50 of all the questions. I used that concept on several of the exams I took. The stats are in your favor:

Example- Social Studies and history had 25% world history, 25% US History, 50% other subjects. Well, I hadn't taken the world history 1 or 2, but rather than study those new subjects, I went back and reviewed the other sections. I felt that I was pretty sure I'd hit 100% on the psychology, sociology, anthropology. I was also pretty sure I'd hit over 80% on US History and political science. So- I totally ignored the world history. It worked, I scored well (69 I think) because I used my strengths.

So, maybe this idea would help you in calculus. If you are very strong at the foundation concepts, you can probably do ALEKS for a while and just take the CLEP. If you don't pass the CLEP, keep going on ALEKS and then submit it for credit. The glitch of ACE evaluation has been resolved, it was a false alarm and you CAN earn credit for completion of the ALEKS course.
