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.
Kevin Santos
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.
Macie Jayne
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.
Lynn Johnson
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!

What should I know before taking Pre-Calculus?

The topics you’ll need to know in order to be ready for Pre-Calculus aren’t easy. They include Linear Equations, Exponents and Polynomials, Quadratics, Functions, Logarithms, and more. That’s why you’ll need to prepare thoroughly if you want to place into Pre-Calculus.

Is this course good for STEM majors?

If you plan to major in a STEM related field, you will be required take Pre-Calculus. Therefore, our ALEKS Pre-Calculus Readiness course is great for students in STEM related majors.

How do I pass Pre-Calculus?

If you’re wondering how to pass Pre-Calculus, the first step is to be ready for the course from day 1. Taking a comprehensive Pre-Calculus Readiness course is the perfect way to make sure you start off on the right foot.

Will this course place me into Calculus?

Some students are able to place all the way into Calculus with our ALEKS Pre-Calculus Readiness course. However, the course is designed to place you into Pre-Calculus, so placing into Calculus is strictly a bonus. And while the testimonials we receive from our customers indicate that our course is highly successful for placing students in Pre-Calculus, you’ll need to put in the time. We recommend spending one to three months to prepare.

The ALEKS program helped dust off the math brain cells from 25 years ago. Thank you.Sarah Poynter - November 2024

The ALEKS test went really well—I got into the calculus class I was shooting for. The lessons were a really helpful review since I hadn't taken any math classes for a few years. It was well worth the money.Kevin O'Meara - May 2024

My ALEKS test went well, I got into the highest score band, all thanks to the prep from mathhelp.com.Lin Yongchau - February 2024

I am very grateful that I was able to jump to Pre-Calculus after taking this ALEKS course.Sana Shujah - December 2023

I needed a 60 to get into a calculus course, and last year when I tried the ALEKS I received a 41. After the course I managed a 71. Which I am very happy about. Everything was very clear and easy to follow. Thanks for your help!Olivia Kramer - July 2023

The ALEKS test actually went really well! I got a 76, which placed me into the best section I could have. I think that the website itself was very organized in finding all the elements, and I also think that the condensed/ shorter videos combined with the examples were most helpful.Olivia Beth Vaughn - March 2023

The ALEKS Pre-Calculus program was very beneficial and I enjoyed using it.Jade Woo - August 2022

Very helpful with my ALEKS placement test for Pre-Calculus. Tested in on the first attempt thanks to this material.Alex Conti - June 2022

I went from a scoring a 12 to a 68 on the ALEKS test placing me in Pre Calculus at my college. The course was very effective. The reviews at the end of each subject were great.Roland Maddox - July 2021
