They will take in person operations once the “Stay home, Stay healthy” Order is lifted. Please note: At a limited basis.

Please note: ALEKS testing arrangement is considered a temporary accommodation.  

The fee for the test is ~$20, including tax, and paid directly to ALEKS online.  It includes the 2 tests and access to the study system for 6 months. It is recommended that students study with the ALEKS preparation modules before re-taking the test, but this is not required. 

  • The time limit for the test is still 2 hours, and the maximum number of questions is still 30 (but may be less).
  • The student must complete all questions to receive a score.  If they do not at least answer “I don’t know” to every question, ALEKS will automatically delete the test without grading it, and the student will have to take it again. 
  • Students may only take the test 2 times.  (An initial test, and one re-test, if the student wants to try again). 
  • There is a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period between the first test and the re-test.  ALEKS will unlock the re-test automatically after that time. 
  • Students will see their results immediately after finishing the test. They may print copies at home.  An electronic copy will be sent to the Testing Office, and usually be uploaded to the student’s record the next business day.  (Please be patient: they expect to be handling math placement for the entire district.) 
  • Fee waivers are still available, but please contact the Testing Office directly by emailing. Handling waivers remotely is a bit more complicated than the usual process.
