I honestly have only good things to say about the experience! I was aiming for anywhere above 61 on my ALEKS test and scored a 64. I found it really helpful to have practice questions and quiz questions so the user has a feedback loop on their progress and confidence in the topic. Also, the ability to toggle between the practice/quiz questions and the associated lecture if you get a question wrong was very helpful. Most importantly the clarity of your explanations and example questions were right on point! Thank you very much!
The best course I had. I scored 86 on the ALEKS test thanks to this class. The most helpful content for me was the simplified videos and the quizzes.
I loved your teaching throughout this program! Thank you for all the hard work you put into compiling and teaching such a stream-lined curriculum. I only needed to test into MAT142 at Arizona State University to continue my education but it’s been 15 years since my last math course and as a nurse, I use some basic math for drug dosage calculations or area under the curve for chemotherapy calculations but this program was a great refresher for everything in between. I had super limited time to view the program, so I had to skip some on the more advanced trig, calculus and statistics sections and go ahead and take the ALEKS test so I could enroll for spring semester but I was able to test in to the math class I needed, so I consider it a success. I wouldn’t have felt anywhere near as confident going in if I hadn’t completed the program first.

I definitely think every section was very well thought out. The practice questions and the test questions were a definite bonus. It gave me plenty of chances to try out problems without guidance and the ability to review the written out solution for each answer was phenomenal. I was also grateful for the ability to skip around, to see my progress and scores and to be able to speed up the audio for each section. The reminders and pointing out the common mistakes that students make was a great touch! It made me think about what could trip me up later on and those little tidbits will stick with me.

I sincerely appreciate your help and I may be back later on if my course doesn’t provide the caliber of teaching that this program did.
The ALEKS test went as well as it could for somebody that’s been out of the classroom for 25 years. The MathHelp site actually helped me a ton to prep. I don't have to take remedial math thank goodness. The ALEKS prep broke out the subjects beautifully and allowed you to build on it if you needed to. I hopped around a bit myself, but overall super easy to navigate either way you do it. Thanks!
Thanks to Mathhelp I scored three levels above where I needed to be on my Aleks test. Fantastic course. I really liked how you could change the speed of playback - I would usually watch at 1.5x speed. If I could have done that when I was taking math in high school I wouldn't have been so bored. The tests and review units were all really well done and everything helped. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this, it's really great!
The ALEKS program was very helpful with the perfect balance of instruction and practice.
The ALEKS test went great. I hadn't taken a math class for over 5 years so I was a little nervous to take the test so I wanted to be as prepared as possible when taking the test. It was really helpful in refreshing my memory and teaching me things I never learned. What I found most helpful was the video lessons as they helped walk me through everything. The program was really helpful.
Mathhelp was so helpful to me in passing my ALEKS test and my two other math classes. I am now a college graduate! The instructors were both knowledgeable and patient and the lessons were easy to follow. I could test myself over and over till I understood a problem. As a “non-math person,” whose last math class was over 35 years ago, I would never have made it without Mathhelp. It was worth every penny and then some. I. Will always be grateful. Keep of the great work.
My ALEKS test went well when I used MathHelp! The most helpful tool to use was the review at every section and especially the final exam feature at the end. I loved having practice taking math tests again. It had been a long time! I loved how if I had a problem understanding any topic, I could use the links provided to go back and understand the background for each step. (For me, this applied to a lot of the exponential expressions and geometry stuff). I can't thank you enough for your program! It was great and I feel so much more confident about my success in my math classes coming up!

Will this course place me out of College Algebra?

This course is designed to place you INTO College Algebra. If you would like to place OUT of College Algebra, then we recommend our ALEKS Pre-Calculus course.

What is the ALEKS PPL?

The ALEKS PPL (Placement, Preparation, and Learning) is the test used by many colleges to determine which course you’ll be placed into. Depending on the results of your test, you could be placed into any course all the way up to Calculus. If your goal is to place into College Algebra, for example, you’ll want to take an ALEKS College Algebra Readiness course.

How long does the ALEKS PPL take?

The ALEKS PPL takes about an hour to complete and is composed of approximately 30 questions.

Do I have to take College Algebra?

If you plan to major in a STEM related field, you will most likely be required to take College Algebra. However, you may be required to take it even if you aren’t in a STEM related field.

I ended up increasing my ALEKS test score from 27 to 57! I qualified for College Algebra at my school. I would say the quizzes after every lesson helped me understand the courses and improve my math skills.Naishawn Ellis - May 2024

This ALEKS program was very helpful and helped me understand College Algebra better!Amairani Lucio - January 2024

The ALEKS college algebra program is excellent! Has been very helpful.Karen Mitchell - November 2023

I placed into college algebra and I haven’t done any type of math since high school which was over 10 years ago! I was a C student at best in high school math, so math was never easy for me. Your courses were incredibly helpful and easy to follow. I’m very thankful I found them.Nicole Bordell - May 2023

I enjoyed the ALEKS College Algebra and used it to help me prepare for my test. Very helpful, easy to use and worth the time.Brandi Damianos - January 2023

The Course was very helpful. I went from a score of 13 to a score of 36 on my ALEKS Math Placement Test! And now I am able to take a bunch of College level science and math courses that I wasn't able to take before.Sophia Miranda - August 2021

Great course! Passed my ALEKS College Algebra exam no problem thanks to it.Christopher O’Neill - March 2021

The ALEKS College Algebra program was a good refresher of the courses I took in high school 25 years ago. Helped me prepare to take a math placement exam to restart college.Erica Brown - December 2020
