The exam consists of 25-30 open-ended (no multiple choice) math questions covering the basics of algebra, geometry and algebra 2. There is no time limit, but you are also not able to use a calculator.
If your score does not place you into one of the school’s college math courses, you will be required to take a college prep math course. Unfortunately, this course will not count towards your graduation requirement.
A majority of students in high school have come to rely heavily on their calculators. For that reason, we have created an ALEKS pre-test to help you prepare. To do well on the exam, you should feel confident completing these questions without the use of notes or a calculator. We have placed the questions into sections (major topics) and have also provided an answer key.
In addition, near the end of the school year the math department will hold study sessions during 8th hour resource to help practice these concepts and to get any questions answered. Look to the announcements for specific days, times and locations.
