Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system.
ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course they are taking.
ALEKS also provides the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any Web-based computer for a fraction of the cost of a human tutor.

You should NOT use your own calculator. ALEKS will provide an on-screen calculator for certain problems if one is needed. This is the only tool that will be available when you take the placement exam in the proctored environment.

At the time of your proctored testing appointment, you'll need to be logged into both your ALEKS Assessment account, as well as your ProctorU account. Your proctor will provide the code/password to begin your exam.
Students also have the option to take their proctored ALEKS Assessment in person at Testing Services for a $17 charge. Appointments can be made by clicking on the "Register Now" button below.
Testing Services has instituted a fee waiver process. Students who are experiencing extreme financial hardship may request a waiver for their ALEKS Assessment proctoring fee with Testing Services by submitting the following:
Students will not be eligible to complete the ALEKS Assessment with Testing Serivces until the fee is paid or waived, so please return the requested documentation as soon as possible.
Your request will be reviewed and a response will be sent to you indicating whether or not the request was approved within 3 business days of receiving all required documents.
Please note that the fee waiver only covers the cost of Testing Services $17 proctoring fee. There is currently not an option to have the ALEKS or ProctorU fee waived.
At the time of your proctored testing appointment, you'll need to be logged into both your ALEKS Assessment account, as well as your ProctorU account. Your proctor will provide the code/password to begin your exam. To access your ALEKS Assessment account, please click the gold box below.

The choice depends on the baseline score you received. If the score is high enough to place you into your desired MAT/STA course (see placement chart), then sign-up for a proctored test via ProctorU.
If your score did not place you into the MAT/STA course you needed, then select a Prep & Learning Module to brush-up on topics to help improve your score. Recommendations on which learning module to select can be found here. Studies have shown that working 6-8 hours in a learning module can improve your score an average of 15 points - this increase in score will help improve your placement.
